Starting the process of becoming a homeowner, you might ask a vital question: "How much home loan can I get on my salary?" This query is common among potential homeowners. The good news? There's a simple way to find out: check home loan eligibility.

Your income, one of the main factors, is directly connected to your borrowing power. Lenders need assurance that you can manage repayments comfortably. But remember, your salary isn't the only consideration. Your age, credit score, and existing debts matter too. Let's explore these factors together in the following sections.

Key Factors That Impact Home Loan Eligibility

Home loans can offer a brilliant way to get onto the property ladder. However, you may be wondering about the minimum salary for a home loan. The answer is multifaceted and hinges on two main factors: your willingness and your capacity to repay.

  • Timing: Willingness to repay: This is judged by your credit score, which reflects your current financial commitments and past credit behaviour. In simple terms, a high credit score is your best friend when applying for a home loan. It shows that you've been a reliable borrower and reassures lenders about your creditworthiness.

    Lenders usually prefer a score of 650 or above. A credit score over 750 might even give you an advantage in bargaining for lower interest rates.

  • Capacity to repay: Secondly, your repayment capacity, also known as your 'in-hand' salary, plays a pivotal role. Lenders primarily focus on this when determining if you qualify for a house loan.

  • Your in-hand salary remains after deductions like EPF, Professional Tax, TDS, and so on are made from your gross salary. Lenders typically expect your net income, after personal and household expenses (usually 50%), to support your loan repayments.

Understanding these key components will empower you to manage your financial planning better. It will guide you to either work on improving these factors, if necessary, or give you the confidence that you're on the right path to secure a home loan for a ₹40,000 salary.
