Quick answer: On a ₹50,000 monthly take-home salary with no other EMIs, you can typically get a home loan of about ₹32–38 lakh over 20 years or ₹37–44 lakh over 30 years at LIC HFL’s 7.15% rate. A rough rule: every ₹10,000 of take-home pay supports about ₹6.4–7.6 lakh over 20 years. Your exact amount depends on existing EMIs, age, CIBIL score and the property value.

Home loan eligibility by salary: quick table
Assumes no existing EMIs, LIC HFL’s best rate of 7.15% (CIBIL 825+), and that 50%–60% of your net monthly salary can go to the EMI:
| Net monthly salary | Loan over 20 years | Loan over 30 years |
|---|---|---|
| ₹25,000 | ₹16 – 19 lakh | ₹18 – 22 lakh |
| ₹30,000 | ₹19 – 23 lakh | ₹22 – 27 lakh |
| ₹40,000 | ₹25 – 31 lakh | ₹30 – 35 lakh |
| ₹50,000 | ₹32 – 38 lakh | ₹37 – 44 lakh |
| ₹60,000 | ₹38 – 46 lakh | ₹44 – 53 lakh |
| ₹70,000 | ₹45 – 53 lakh | ₹52 – 62 lakh |
| ₹80,000 | ₹51 – 61 lakh | ₹59 – 71 lakh |
| ₹1,00,000 | ₹64 – 76 lakh | ₹74 – 89 lakh |
| ₹1,50,000 | ₹96 lakh – ₹1.15 crore | ₹1.11 – 1.33 crore |
| ₹2,00,000 | ₹1.27 – 1.53 crore | ₹1.48 – 1.78 crore |
At 7.15%, the EMI per ₹1 lakh is about ₹784 over 20 years and ₹675 over 30 years. A lower CIBIL score means a higher rate and a slightly smaller loan; see LIC HFL rates by CIBIL score. For your own figures, use the home loan eligibility calculator.
How lenders work out how much you can borrow
Lenders start from how much EMI you can pay, not from the property price:
- Net income: your take-home salary after tax and deductions. Regular variable pay may be averaged.
- FOIR (fixed obligation to income ratio): all your EMIs together, including the new home loan, usually have to stay within about 50%–60% of net income. See what FOIR is.
- Term: up to 30 years for salaried and 20 years for self-employed borrowers at LIC HFL, subject to your age and repaying capacity. A longer term means a bigger loan for the same EMI.
- Rate: set by your CIBIL score and loan amount.
- Property value: the loan cannot exceed 90% of the property value up to ₹30 lakh, 80% for ₹30–75 lakh and 75% above ₹75 lakh, whatever your salary.
How existing EMIs reduce your eligibility
Every ₹10,000 of existing EMI (car loan, personal loan, credit card EMI) cuts your home loan by about ₹12.7 lakh over 20 years or ₹14.8 lakh over 30 years. On a ₹60,000 salary, a ₹10,000 car EMI brings a 20-year loan from about ₹42 lakh down to about ₹29 lakh. Closing a small loan before you apply can add several lakh.
How much home loan can I afford, not just qualify for?
Eligibility is the maximum a lender will give; affordability is what you can live with. Before you take the full amount:
- Keep total EMIs at a level that still leaves room for savings and emergencies.
- Plan the down payment: 10%, 20% or 25% of the price depending on the loan size, plus stamp duty and registration of about 6% in urban Telangana, which are not funded. Use the down payment calculator.
- Keep 6 months of expenses aside after paying the down payment.
- Check the EMI at a slightly higher rate too, as floating rates can rise. Try the EMI calculator.
What a salary buys in Hyderabad
- ₹50,000 take-home: a ₹35–40 lakh loan plus your down payment typically suits a 2 BHK in areas such as Miyapur, Bachupally or Ameenpur. See homes under ₹50 lakh in Hyderabad.
- ₹1,00,000 take-home: a ₹70–85 lakh loan over 30 years opens up larger 2 BHK and 3 BHK homes in Tellapur, Kollur or Kondapur.
- ₹2,00,000 take-home: loans above ₹1.4 crore bring premium projects in Kokapet and the Financial District within reach; remember the 25% minimum down payment above ₹75 lakh.
Prices vary widely within each area, so check the project before relying on these ranges.
Four ways to increase your eligibility
- Add an earning co-applicant. Their income is added to yours: ₹60,000 alone supports about ₹42 lakh over 20 years; ₹1,00,000 combined supports about ₹70 lakh. In a joint loan LIC HFL also uses the highest CIBIL score among the applicants; see joint home loan with spouse.
- Choose a longer term if your age allows it.
- Close or reduce small loans and credit card EMIs before applying.
- Improve your CIBIL score to get a lower rate and a larger loan for the same EMI.
Age matters as much as salary
The loan has to be repaid within a working life, so a 45-year-old with the same salary as a 30-year-old usually gets a shorter term and a smaller loan. Retired or close to retirement? See home loans for pensioners, where the term can run up to age 80. Self-employed? See LIC HFL home loan for self-employed. Working abroad? See NRI home loans.
