1. What is the SBI Home Loan Amount Calculator?

This calculator helps you determine the maximum home loan amount you can get from State Bank of India based on your affordable EMI, current interest rates (starting at 7.50% p.a.), and loan tenure.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment you can afford (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the present value of an annuity (the loan amount) based on regular payments (EMIs) at a constant interest rate.
