1. What is the SBI Home Loan Approval Calculator?

The SBI Home Loan Approval Calculator helps you determine how much loan amount you can get approved based on your affordable monthly payment, current interest rates, and loan term. It uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate the principal amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan approval formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( PMT \) — Affordable monthly payment (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (decimal)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (months)

Explanation: The formula calculates the maximum loan amount you can get based on what you can afford to pay each month, considering the interest rate and loan duration.

3. Importance of Loan Approval Calculation

Details: Knowing your potential loan approval amount helps in budgeting for your home purchase, understanding your borrowing capacity, and planning your down payment requirements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your comfortable monthly payment in INR, the current interest rate (SBI rates start at 7.50% p.a.), and your desired loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
