How to read this

Halving the loan size versus ₹75 lakh does not always halve stress—existing EMIs and FOIR still dominate. Re-run with your take-home and other EMIs.

FAQ

Will my bank use the same FOIR?: Unlikely to match exactly. This page uses a transparent FOIR-style cap for education. Lenders apply their own eligibility rules.
What if the target loan exceeds capacity?: You can lower the loan, raise down payment, extend tenure (with more interest), reduce other EMIs, or wait until income supports a safer EMI.
