Loan Calculator

Start from what you can comfortably pay each month rather than from the loan amount. Enter your EMI budget, the interest rate and the tenure to see the loan that fits.

This is how lenders size a term loan once they know your repayment capacity.

Maximum loan amount
₹11,63,120.68
Monthly EMI
₹25,000.00
Total interest
₹3,36,879.32
Total repayment
₹15,00,000.00
Lenders also check income, obligations and credit score before sanctioning.

Formula

Loan = EMI × ((1 + r)^n − 1) ÷ (r × (1 + r)^n)

where r = annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100 and n = tenure in months

Lenders also apply a FOIR or DSCR limit, so your sanctioned amount can be lower than the mathematical maximum.

Worked example

A ₹25,000 monthly EMI at 10.5% for 60 months supports a loan of roughly ₹11,63,000 with about ₹3,37,000 of interest.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter your monthly income and existing EMI commitments.
  2. 2Enter the interest rate and tenure you expect.
  3. 3Read the loan amount that fits the EMI a lender would typically allow.

When businesses use it

  • Estimating how much a bank may sanction before you apply.
  • Checking whether clearing one existing EMI improves your eligibility.
  • Sizing a working-capital loan against your current repayment capacity.

Starting from what you can repay

Most borrowers start with a loan amount and discover the EMI afterwards. Lenders work the other way: they assess repayment capacity first and derive the sanction from it. Doing the same puts you in a stronger position at the bank and stops you committing to an instalment that only works in a good month.

Banks apply a fixed obligation to income ratio, typically keeping all EMIs within 40–50% of net monthly income, and businesses are assessed on debt service coverage instead, usually requiring cash profit of at least 1.25 to 1.5 times the annual repayment. Existing loans, credit card dues and guarantees you have given all count against that limit, so the eligible amount is often lower than the mathematical maximum this calculator shows.

Working capital and term loans are not interchangeable. Buying machinery or a vehicle belongs in a term loan matched to the asset's life; funding stock and receivables belongs in an overdraft or cash credit line, where you pay interest only on what you use. Financing recurring working capital with a term loan is a common and expensive mismatch.

What lenders look at besides the EMI

  • Credit score — 750 and above gets the best pricing on unsecured business loans.
  • Bank statement conduct: cheque returns and overdrawn balances hurt more than turnover helps.
  • Filed ITRs and GST returns for the last two to three years.
  • Collateral or a guarantee for larger tickets, or a CGTMSE-covered facility instead.

Learn the maths behind it

  • How to calculate EMI

    EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1), where r is the monthly rate and n the number of months.
