About the Loan Eligibility Calculator
How eligibility is calculated
Maximum eligible EMI = (Monthly Income × FOIR%) − Existing EMIs. Maximum loan amount is then derived by reverse-solving the EMI formula for your desired rate and tenure. The default FOIR of 45% mirrors most Indian and US retail lenders; adjust the slider to match your lender's policy.
Why lenders cap at FOIR
Lenders want to be sure you can absorb a rate hike, a bad month or an unexpected expense without missing payments. Capping total obligations at 40–50% of income creates that buffer. Under-declaring existing EMIs to get a bigger loan usually backfires when the lender pulls your credit report.
Levers to increase eligibility
Add a co-applicant to combine incomes, extend tenure (lowers EMI but raises total interest), close small existing debts to free up FOIR headroom, or apply to a lender with a higher FOIR ceiling.
