Note: For the above calculation, existing loan repayment obligations has been considered to be zero. For the multiplier method, the maximum loan amount is 15 times the NMI.
- EMI/NMI Ratio: Under this method, lenders calculate the proportion of an applicant’s net monthly income (NMI) that goes into paying his loan EMIs, including the EMI of the proposed loan. Lenders usually prefer approving personal loans of applicants having EMI/NMI ratio of up to 50-55%.
Factors that determine an applicant’s EMI/NMI ratio includes his net monthly income, tenure and interest rate. Changing salary or monthly EMI obligations in a short time can be challenging. However, applicants can choose to extend their loan tenure or avail low interest rate personal loans to reduce their EMI/NMI ratio and thereby, improve their eligibility to avail a higher personal loan amount.
