Formula Used

The loan eligibility is calculated using the FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) method:

  1. Total Monthly Obligations: Existing EMIs + Other Obligations
  2. FOIR Limit: Net Monthly Income × (FOIR / 100)
  3. Eligible Monthly EMI: FOIR Limit - Total Monthly Obligations
  4. Eligible Loan Amount: Calculated using EMI formula in reverse

Loan Amount = EMI × [((1 + r)n - 1) / (r × (1 + r)n)]

Where:

  • EMI = Eligible Monthly EMI
  • r = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12 / 100)
  • n = Number of monthly payments (Loan tenure in years × 12)

Key Factors Affecting Loan Eligibility:

  • Credit Score (750+ for best rates)
  • Income Stability and Employment History
  • Debt-to-Income Ratio (Should be < 40-50%)
  • Existing Relationship with Lender
  • Collateral Availability (for secured loans)
