1. What is UAE Home Loan Eligibility?

The UAE Home Loan Eligibility Calculator estimates how much you can borrow for a property purchase based on your income, existing debts, and the lender's multiplier. Banks in UAE typically offer loans up to 7-8 times your annual income.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard UAE home loan formula:

Where:

• \( Income \) — Your monthly income in AED
• \( Multiplier \) — Typically 7-8 times annual income (converted to monthly)
• \( Debts \) — Your existing monthly debt obligations

Explanation: Banks first calculate your maximum borrowing capacity based on income, then subtract existing debt payments to determine what you can realistically afford.

3. Importance of Loan Eligibility Calculation

Details: Knowing your eligibility helps set realistic property budgets, improves mortgage approval chances, and ensures you don't overextend financially.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

• Enter gross monthly income (before deductions)
• Standard multiplier is 7 (for expats) or 8 (for UAE nationals)
• Include all monthly debt payments (credit cards, personal loans, car loans)
• Result shows maximum loan amount you're likely to qualify for
