Loan Affordability Calculator
Start from the EMI you can comfortably pay each month and work back to the loan size. Lenders commonly cap total EMIs at around 40–50% of take-home pay.
Quick answer
Maximum loan = EMI × ((1 + r)^n − 1) ÷ (r × (1 + r)^n), where r is the monthly rate and n the number of months. An EMI of ₹20,000 at 9% for 20 years supports a loan of about ₹22.2 lakh.
How to use the Loan Affordability Calculator
- Enter the EMI you can afford.
- Enter interest rate and tenure.
- Read the maximum loan amount and total interest.

Frequently asked questions
Will a bank lend me this full amount?
Not necessarily. Banks also look at your income, existing EMIs, credit score and the property value.
