A common guideline is that a home loan can be approximately 60 times your monthly salary. For instance, a salary of ₹40,000 might qualify you for a home loan between ₹20 Lakh and ₹30 Lakh. But keep in mind that lenders typically do not consider your entire take-home salary when determining eligibility.
Your in-hand salary includes multiple components like basic salary, house rent allowance, medical allowance, leave travel allowance, etc. Lenders may not consider allowance components like medical and leave-travel allowance, as they are for specific, designated purposes.
Generally, lenders use a debt-to-income ratio to determine eligibility, and you might be eligible for a loan amount that results in monthly payments of around 40-50% of your monthly income.
Based on your ₹40,000 monthly salary and assuming no existing EMIs or financial obligations, here is the estimated home loan you could be eligible for, calculated at a 9% interest rate over a 20-year repayment tenure.

Lenders consider several factors beyond just your salary when calculating your eligible home loan amount. These elements significantly influence the final loan size you may receive.
Your credit score is a significant factor in determining your loan amount. A higher credit score can lead to better loan terms and a higher loan amount, as it indicates to lenders that you are a reliable borrower.
Your DTI compares your monthly debt payments to your monthly income. A lower DTI ratio means you have a good balance between debt and income.
The size of your down payment can affect the loan amount. A larger down payment reduces the loan amount needed and can also lead to better loan terms.
Lenders prefer borrowers with a stable employment history. Consistent employment means consistent loan repayment.
The appraised value of the property you wish to purchase will affect the loan amount. Lenders typically do not lend more than the property's appraised value.
Prevailing interest rates can affect the affordability of the loan, which in turn can influence the amount you can borrow.
The location of the property can also impact the loan amount, as some areas, like metropolitan cities, may have higher property values or different lending limits.
You can get a home loan of ₹20 Lakh to ₹22 Lakh on a ₹40,000 monthly salary. However, this range can vary as different lenders have different criteria for deciding the home loan amount.
It is advisable to contact your lender to figure out the actual amount for which you are eligible.
You can now get home loans up to ₹1 Crore with interest rates starting from 7.75%. Visit the Moneyview website or app to finance your dream home today!
