1. What is SBI Home Loan Eligibility?

The SBI Home Loan Eligibility Calculator helps determine the maximum loan amount you can get based on your repayment capacity. SBI offers home loans starting at 8.40% p.a. with a minimum income requirement of ₹30,000.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan eligibility formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( PMT \) — Affordable monthly payment (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Total number of monthly payments (years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the present value of an annuity (loan amount) based on your monthly payment capacity.

3. Importance of Loan Eligibility Calculation

Details: Knowing your eligibility helps in financial planning, property selection, and ensures you don't apply for amounts beyond your repayment capacity.

4. Using the Calculator
