Loan Eligibility Calculator – How Much Loan Can You Get?

The Loan Eligibility Calculator helps you estimate how much loan amount you may qualify for, based on your income, expenses, existing EMIs, credit score, loan type, and tenure.

Instead of guessing or relying on rough rules, this calculator uses DTI-based eligibility logic, similar to how banks and NBFCs assess borrowers.

What Is Loan Eligibility?

Loan eligibility refers to the maximum loan amount a lender may offer you, based on your financial profile.

Banks usually evaluate:

• Monthly income
• Monthly expenses
• Existing EMIs
• Credit score
• Loan type (personal, home, car)
• Loan tenure and interest rate

This calculator combines all of these to give a realistic estimate, not a marketing number.

How This Loan Eligibility Calculator Works

The calculator follows a DTI (Debt-to-Income) based approach, which is commonly used by lenders.

Step-by-step logic:

1. Calculates your total monthly income (including co-applicant, if any)
2. Applies a DTI limit based on loan type and credit score
3. Determines the maximum EMI you can afford
4. Converts that EMI into an eligible loan amount using standard loan formulas
5. Generates a repayment schedule and affordability insights

Inputs Used in Eligibility Calculation

Monthly Income

Your regular monthly income after tax.

Monthly Expenses

Household and lifestyle expenses.

Existing EMIs

Any current loan obligations.

Interest Rate

Expected interest rate for the loan.

Loan Tenure

Choose preset tenures or enter a custom tenure in years.

Loan Type

Different loans follow different risk rules:

• Personal Loan
• Home Loan
• Car Loan

Credit Score

Higher scores improve eligibility and affordability.

Co-Applicant Income (Optional)

Combined income increases eligibility, especially for home loans.

DTI Ratio Explained

DTI (Debt-to-Income) Ratio shows how much of your income goes towards loan repayment.

DTI Formula:

DTI = (Total EMIs ÷ Total Monthly Income) × 100

Typical DTI Limits Used

• Personal Loan: ~45%
• Home Loan: ~55%
• Higher credit score may increase limits
• Lower credit score reduces limits

This calculator automatically adjusts DTI based on:

• Loan type
• Credit score

How Eligible Loan Amount Is Calculated

Once the maximum affordable EMI is calculated, the loan amount is derived using the present value (PV) formula:

PV = EMI × [1 − (1 + r)⁻ⁿ] ÷ r

Where:

• EMI = maximum affordable EMI
• r = monthly interest rate
• n = total number of months

This ensures eligibility is EMI-driven, just like bank calculations.

What Results This Calculator Shows

• Eligible loan amount
• Maximum affordable monthly EMI
• DTI ratio after the loan
• Credit risk impact (Good, Moderate, High Risk)
• Income allocation chart (EMI vs expenses vs surplus)
• Year-wise repayment schedule
• Mobile-friendly repayment breakdown

Example

Suppose an individual earns ₹50,000 per month, has ₹15,000 expenses, no existing EMI, and a credit score of 750.

• Loan type: Personal Loan
• Interest rate: 10.5%
• Tenure: 5 years

Estimated Outcome:

• Maximum EMI affordability based on DTI
• Loan eligibility calculated from EMI
• DTI remains within acceptable limits

Exact values vary with credit score, tenure, and interest rate.
