ThriftRupee Insight

Indian banks typically allow a maximum EMI-to-income ratio of 40–50%. On a Rs 1 lakh monthly income, your total EMI burden (all loans combined) should not exceed Rs 40,000–50,000. If your existing car and personal loan EMIs already consume Rs 25,000, you only have Rs 15,000–25,000 left for a home loan — which limits your eligibility to roughly Rs 12–20 lakh, not Rs 80 lakh as many first-time buyers assume.

Home Affordability Calculator — How Much House Can You Buy in India?

Buying a home is India's largest financial decision. This calculator uses your net income, existing obligations, down payment, and current interest rates to tell you exactly how much home you can realistically afford — before you fall in love with a property beyond your means.

The 40% FOIR rule

Banks use the Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio (FOIR) to determine home loan eligibility. A FOIR of 40% means your total EMIs (including the new home loan) should not exceed 40% of net monthly income. Some banks go up to 50% for high-income applicants, but staying at 40% is prudent — it leaves room for emergencies and lifestyle expenses without financial stress.

Frequently asked questions

How much home loan can I get on my salary?
Most banks offer home loans up to 60× your net monthly salary, subject to a maximum EMI-to-income ratio of 40–50%. For example, Rs 60,000 net monthly income → up to Rs 36 lakh home loan (at ~8.5% for 20 years). Existing EMIs reduce eligibility proportionally. Some banks consider gross income; NBFC lenders may go up to 65× salary.
How much down payment is required for a home in India?
RBI mandates a minimum 10% down payment for loans up to Rs 30 lakh, 20% for Rs 30–75 lakh, and 25% for above Rs 75 lakh. Practically, most banks finance 75–80% of the property value (LTV ratio). Additionally, stamp duty and registration (5–8% of property value) must be paid separately from own funds.
What is the ideal EMI-to-income ratio for a home loan?
The ideal FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) is 35–40% of gross monthly income. A ratio above 50% significantly increases default risk and most banks reject such applications. If your FOIR including the proposed home loan EMI exceeds 50%, either increase the down payment, extend tenure, or wait to repay existing loans first.
