Lenders want to be sure your EMI stays affordable alongside your other commitments, so they look at your <strong>net monthly income<\/strong> rather than your gross salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 50% rule of thumb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most banks allow your total EMIs \u2014 including any existing loans \u2014 to be roughly 40% to 60% of your net monthly income. This is called the FOIR (Fixed Obligations to Income Ratio). The exact limit depends on the lender, your income level and your overall profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A quick example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Say your net monthly salary is \u20b91,00,000 and you have no other EMIs. At a 50% FOIR you could afford an EMI of about \u20b950,000. At 8.5% interest over 20 years, that EMI supports a loan of roughly \u20b957.6 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try different amounts in our <a href=\"https:\/\/sidnik.com\/index.php\/emi-calculator\/\">EMI calculator<\/a> to see what fits your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else affects your eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Credit score<\/strong> \u2014 a score of 750 or above usually means better rates and higher amounts.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Loan tenure<\/strong> \u2014 a longer tenure lowers the EMI and can raise your eligibility.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Co-applicant<\/strong> \u2014 adding an earning spouse or parent combines incomes.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Existing EMIs<\/strong> \u2014 closing small loans before applying frees up room.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Job stability<\/strong> \u2014 steady employment strengthens your application.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figures are illustrative. Actual eligibility and interest rates depend on the lender\u2019s policy and your profile.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lenders look at how much of your monthly income can safely go towards EMIs.
