Maximum Eligible Loan Amount 

Banks calculate the maximum eligible loan amount with these two methods –

1. Fixed Obligation Income Ratio (FOIR)

Under this method, the maximum eligible loan amount is calculated based on the maximum monthly EMI you can afford. The maximum monthly EMI is equal to your net monthly income after deducting all the expenses and other EMIs.

Banks generally accept 50% of your monthly income towards EMI and fixed obligations. So you can have a maximum EMI up to 50% of your monthly income.

If you have other EMIs or fixed obligations then your maximum EMI for the personal loan will be reduced accordingly.

Example – Akhilesh has a monthly income of Rs. 30000 and he doesn’t have any other fixed obligations. He wants to take a personal loan at 11% interest rate and for the longest tenure of 5 years.

In this case, the maximum EMI can be Rs. 15000 (50% of 30000) and accordingly he can get the maximum loan of  Rs. 6,90,000 for the period of 5 Years. 

In the same example, if Akhilesh has an existing EMI of Rs. 6000 then the maximum EMI for the new personal loan can only be Rs. 9000 (i.e. 50% of 30000 – Rs.6000). Accordingly, he can get a maximum loan of Rs. 4,14,000 for 5 years.

2. Multiplier Method

This method is very simple, the bank decides the loan amount by applying a multiplier on your net monthly salary or income. Generally, the banks apply a multiplier of 8 to 20 times depending upon the credit profile of the borrower.

Example – Your monthly salary is Rs. 50,000 and the bank provides personal loan on 18 times multiplier rule. Accordingly, so your maximum loan amount can be Rs. 9 lakh (50000*18).
