Frequently asked questions

Does this include property tax and insurance?+

No — this estimates the maximum principal-and-interest EMI only. Lenders may factor in property tax and insurance when assessing your real DTI, which will lower your actual maximum loan somewhat versus this estimate.

Why do lenders care about DTI instead of just income?+

Two buyers with the same income can have very different ability to take on a home loan if one already has heavy car or personal loan payments — DTI captures your total debt burden, not just your income, which is a better predictor of repayment risk.

Should I borrow the maximum this calculator shows?+

Not necessarily — this is a lender-affordability ceiling, not a personal comfort recommendation. Many buyers are more comfortable at a meaningfully lower EMI that leaves room for savings, emergencies, and other goals.
