Calculate your personal loan eligibility for medical expenses

Your personal loan eligibility depends on how much of your monthly income can be allocated towards loan repayments. FOIR (fixed obligation to income ratio) measures this as the share of your income used for existing and proposed EMIs. Keeping total EMIs within 50% to 60% of your monthly income can indicate the repayment capacity available for a new loan.


Check the EMI for your treatment cost: personal loan EMI calculator


Your eligible loan amount depends on three key factors:


  • Income: A higher monthly income can support a higher EMI and, consequently, a larger loan amount.
  • Existing EMIs: Existing loan obligations reduce the portion of your income available for the new EMI.
  • Tenure: A longer tenure reduces the monthly EMI for the same loan amount but increases the total interest payable.

Bajaj Finance determines the final eligible loan amount after assessing your income, existing obligations and other details of your profile.
