What ₹1 Lakh/Month Gets You, Tenure by Tenure

On a net in-hand salary of ₹1 Lakh, banks allow about 65% of income — ₹65,000/month — to go towards all EMIs combined (the FOIR norm). With no existing EMIs, that capacity converts into the following loan amounts at today's ~7.5% rate:

Frequently Asked Questions

How much home loan can I get on a ₹1 Lakh salary?

Around ₹80,68,589 over 20 years at today's ~7.5% rate, assuming no existing EMIs. Banks allow about 65% of your net income (₹65,000/month) to go towards EMIs, and convert that into a loan amount. Existing EMIs and a weaker CIBIL score reduce this; a co-applicant raises it.

What EMI will I pay on that amount?

The full eligible amount uses your entire ₹65,000/month EMI capacity. Borrowing less than the maximum keeps a buffer for emergencies — most planners suggest keeping total EMIs under 40% of net income even when banks allow more.

Can I increase my eligibility on a ₹1 Lakh salary?

Yes, three levers work best: add an earning co-applicant (their income is added before the FOIR calculation), close existing EMIs before applying, and lift your CIBIL score above 750 to get the lowest rate. The calculator above shows the rupee impact of each for your exact profile.

Is this the same at every bank?

No. Each bank applies its own FOIR norm and rate — the same ₹1 Lakh salary can get sanctions differing by several lakhs between SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, and Kotak. The comparison table above shows all five on your inputs.
