1. What is SBI Home Loan Eligibility?

The SBI Home Loan Eligibility Calculator helps you determine the maximum loan amount you can get from State Bank of India based on your repayment capacity, current interest rates, and loan tenure.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan eligibility formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Maximum loan amount (principal)
• \( PMT \) — Affordable monthly payment
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (term in years × 12)

Explanation: The equation calculates the present value of an annuity (the loan amount) based on regular payments, interest rate, and time period.

3. Importance of Loan Eligibility Calculation

Details: Knowing your maximum eligible loan amount helps in budgeting for your home purchase and ensures you don't apply for amounts beyond your repayment capacity.
