Loan Eligibility Calculator
Estimate the maximum loan amount you may qualify for, based on your monthly income, existing EMI obligations, interest rate, and desired tenure.
How Is Loan Eligibility Calculated? (Formula)
Maximum Loan Amount = EMI × [(1+r)n − 1] ÷ [r × (1+r)n]
Where: r = Monthly interest rate, n = Tenure in months, FOIR = Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio
Step-by-Step Calculation
1. Multiply monthly income by the maximum allowed EMI-to-income ratio (FOIR) to get the total EMI capacity.
2. Subtract existing monthly obligations to get the maximum affordable new EMI.
3. Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate and tenure to months.
4. Apply the reverse loan (present value of annuity) formula to convert the maximum EMI into a maximum loan amount.
Example Calculation
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Monthly Income | ৳80,000 |
| Existing Obligations | ৳5,000 |
| FOIR | 40% |
| Max Affordable EMI | ৳27,000 |
| Interest Rate / Tenure | 9.5% / 20 years |
| Estimated Max Loan Eligibility | ≈ ৳28,96,588 |
Definitions
FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio): The percentage of monthly income lenders allow to go toward all fixed loan repayments combined, used to assess affordability.
Loan Eligibility: The maximum amount a lender is willing to approve for a borrower, based on income, obligations, credit profile, and repayment capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is loan eligibility calculated?
Loan eligibility is calculated by determining the maximum EMI a borrower can afford based on a fixed percentage of income (FOIR), then converting that EMI into a maximum loan amount using the loan repayment formula in reverse.
What is a good FOIR percentage for loan approval?
Most lenders prefer a FOIR of 40–50%, meaning total EMI obligations (existing plus new) should not exceed 40–50% of the borrower's net monthly income.
Does existing debt reduce loan eligibility?
Yes, existing EMIs and financial obligations are subtracted from the total allowed EMI capacity, directly reducing the loan amount a borrower can qualify for.
Is this calculator's result the same as a bank's final approval?
No, this calculator provides only an estimate; actual loan approval also depends on credit score, employment history, collateral, and the specific lender's internal policies.
This calculator provides an estimate for planning purposes only and does not guarantee loan approval or the exact amount a lender will offer.
