Use this home loan eligibility calculator to find out how much you can borrow for a home loan as an NRI based on your financial details.
Understanding the Home Loan Eligibility Calculator (NRI)
Use this calculator to determine your home loan eligibility based on your annual income, down payment, interest rate, loan term, and other financial obligations. Fill in your annual income in USD, the down payment you can make, the expected interest rate, the desired loan term (in years), and any other monthly loan installments and expenses you have.
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter your annual income in USD.
- Enter the amount you can provide as a down payment.
- Enter the interest rate you expect for the loan.
- Enter the loan term in years.
- Provide your other monthly loan installments and other monthly expenses.
- Click on the “Calculate” button.
How It Calculates:
The calculator takes the annual income and converts it to a monthly figure. Then, it deducts 50% of your monthly income for expenses, loan installments, and other obligations to find the maximum possible monthly EMI you can afford. The calculator then works backwards using the EMI to find out the maximum loan amount you are eligible for at the given interest rate over the specified term. Finally, the down payment is added to this amount to provide you with the total eligible loan amount.
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate based on the provided inputs and may not fully reflect the precise eligibility criteria used by lenders. Various other factors, such as credit history, geographic location, and specific lender policies, can also affect your loan eligibility.
