What the Affordability Calculator does
Affordability Calculator: calculates Affordable EMI and Affordable Loan from Monthly Income, Monthly Expenses and Loan Rate % p.a.. Example: monthly income 100000 ₹, monthly expenses 40000 ₹ and loan rate % p.a. 8.5 gives affordable EMI ₹30,000.00.
With Monthly Income, Monthly Expenses, Loan Rate % p.a. and Tenure (years) entered, the Affordability Calculator works out Affordable EMI and Affordable Loan. Values update as you type, so comparing options is a matter of editing one field.
Typical users are anyone weighing up a loan. Small differences in rate or term compound into large differences in what you actually pay.
The work is done by JavaScript already loaded in your browser, so your input never crosses the network.
Field definitions, the method, and a worked example from the default values are all set out further down the page.
What do the Affordability Calculator fields mean?
The Affordability Calculator uses 4 inputs. Nothing is blank on load, so you can see the shape of the answer before supplying your own figures.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Income | measured in ₹; accepts 1000 to 10000000 | 100000 |
| Monthly Expenses | measured in ₹; accepts 0 to 10000000 | 40000 |
| Loan Rate % p.a. | accepts 1 to 30 | 8.5 |
| Tenure (years) | accepts 1 to 40 | 20 |
How does the Affordability Calculator work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same calculation.
Bad input produces a message, not a silently incorrect figure.

How to use it
- Type Monthly Income in ₹ (1000 to 10000000).
- Enter Monthly Expenses in ₹ (0 to 10000000).
- Set Loan Rate % p.a. (1 to 30).
- Put Tenure (years) (1 to 40).
- The answer follows your cursor, in effect. Change a field and read the new figure.
- Look at Affordable EMI and Affordable Loan in the output panel.
- Print gives a tidy version without the navigation, which is handy for attaching to a file.
What this tool does not do
- Lender rounding conventions differ, so your statement may vary by small amounts.
- Advertised rates are usually the best-case tier, not the one most applicants are offered.
- It handles the common case well and the unusual case literally.
- Garbage in, garbage out: confirm each figure means what you think it does before trusting the result.

It is precise to the method and honest about its scope: no calculator can know your eligibility, and eligibility is what usually moves the final number.
