House Loan Eligibility Formula:
From: | To: |
House loan eligibility determines how much money a bank or financial institution is willing to lend you based on your income, existing debts, and their lending criteria. The multiplier represents how many times your income the lender is willing to provide as a loan.
The calculator uses the house loan eligibility formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates your maximum loan repayment capacity by multiplying your income by the lender's multiplier, then subtracts your existing debts to determine how much additional loan you can service.
Details: Knowing your loan eligibility helps you understand your borrowing capacity before applying for a loan, saves time in the application process, and helps you set realistic expectations when house hunting.
Tips: Enter your net monthly income (after taxes), the lender's multiplier (ask your bank or use standard values), and all your existing monthly debt payments (credit cards, other loans, etc.).
Q1: What is a typical multiplier value?
A: Most lenders use a multiplier between 3-5, meaning they'll lend 3-5 times your annual income. Some may go higher for exceptional cases.
Q2: Should I include all my expenses in debts?
A: No, only include fixed monthly debt obligations like loan payments, credit card minimums, and other recurring financial commitments.
Q3: Does this calculator consider interest rates?
A: No, this is a simplified calculation. Actual loan offers will consider interest rates, loan tenure, and other factors.
Q4: How can I increase my eligibility amount?
A: You can increase income, reduce existing debts, or find a lender with a higher multiplier. A co-applicant with income can also help.
Q5: Is this amount guaranteed by lenders?
A: No, this is an estimate. Lenders will also consider credit score, employment history, property value, and other factors.
