About this calculator

The home affordability calculator applies the standard 28/36 debt-to-income rule to your gross monthly income and existing debts to find a safe maximum monthly housing payment, then converts that into a maximum affordable home price using your down payment and expected loan terms.

Worked example

₹12L income, ₹5,000 other debts, ₹10L down payment, 8.5% for 20 years

Result: Affordable home price ≈ ₹36,00,000
