What is Home Loan Eligibility?
Home loan eligibility refers to the maximum loan amount a bank or financial institution is willing to sanction based on your financial profile. Lenders check your eligibility to ensure you can comfortably repay the loan. It considers factors such as:
- Income and salary
- Age and employment status
- Credit score and existing financial obligations
- Loan tenure and interest rate
This helps you plan your budget, avoid rejections, and negotiate better loan terms.

How is Home Loan Eligibility Calculated?
Fullerton Finance calculates eligibility using FOIR, LTV, credit score, and net monthly income.
Key Terms
- FOIR: Percentage of income allowed for EMIs (60–70%).
- LTV: Loan amount as a percentage of property value (60–75%).
- NMI: Net monthly income after taxes and obligations.
Step-by-Step Example:
- Income: ₹50,000
- FOIR: 65% → EMI capacity = ₹32,500
- Tenure: 20 years
- Interest rate: 12%
- Eligible loan ≈ ₹25 lakh
Formula for Home Loan Eligibility
The formula used is:
Eligible Loan Amount = (EMI × (1 - (1 + r)^-n)) / r
Where:
- EMI = maximum monthly repayment capacity
- r = monthly interest rate
- n = loan tenure in months
Example:
- EMI: ₹32,500
- Interest rate: 12% annually → 1% monthly
- Tenure: 240 months
- Eligible loan: ≈ ₹25 lakh
