About This Tool

Why use Loan Eligibility?

A loan eligibility calculator estimates the largest loan you could take on based on your income, existing debt payments, interest rate and term. It works backwards from an affordable monthly payment to a loan amount.

This calculator assumes up to 50% of gross monthly income can go toward all debt payments, then subtracts what you already pay. With a monthly income of 5,000 and no other debts, the maximum payment is 2,500; at 8.5% over 20 years that supports a loan of about 288,000. Many lenders use a lower limit, so treat the result as a ceiling.

Loan Eligibility FAQs

How do lenders decide how much I can borrow?

They look at income, existing debts, credit history and living costs. A common measure is the debt-to-income ratio, which compares total monthly debt payments with gross monthly income.

Why is my approved amount lower than this estimate?

Lenders often cap debt payments below 50% of income, apply stress-test rates and consider your credit score and expenses. This calculator shows a theoretical maximum, not an offer.

How can I increase my borrowing capacity?

Paying down existing debts, choosing a longer term, adding a co-borrower's income or improving your credit score to get a lower rate can all increase the amount you qualify for.
