EMI, mortgage payment, and installment are names for the same monthly payment. The formula is the same in the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, and India. A lender can still add fees. Use the country menu to change the currency.

A worked check

A 100,000 loan at 8% a year for 5 years has a monthly payment of about 2,028. Total paid is about 121,658, so interest is about 21,658. Stretch the same loan to 10 years and the monthly payment falls, while total interest rises. The currency symbol follows the country you select. The payment formula does not.

01. What is FOIR in home loan eligibility?

FOIR means Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio. It is the share of your net monthly income that banks allow for all EMIs together, including the new loan. Many lenders cap it around 50% to 60%.

02. How do banks calculate maximum loan amount?

They take your net salary, subtract existing EMIs, apply the FOIR limit to get the maximum new EMI, then reverse-calculate the loan amount at the offered rate and tenure. Our tool follows that logic.

03. Does credit score affect loan eligibility?

04. Are bonuses and variable pay counted in eligibility?

Banks often count only part of variable pay or average it over two to three years. Only regular net salary is usually taken at full value. Check with your lender how they treat your pay structure.

06. Why is my eligible amount lower than a bank ad?
