To find out how much loan you can get, enter your monthly take-home income, your current EMIs, the share of income lenders allow for EMIs (FOIR, often 40–60%), the interest rate and tenure. The calculator shows the maximum EMI you can afford and the loan amount that EMI supports.

How it works
Affordable EMI = income × FOIR% − existing EMIs. The loan amount is the present value of that EMI over the tenure at the interest rate — the reverse of the EMI formula: P = EMI × ((1 + r)n − 1) ÷ (r × (1 + r)n).
