# NRI home loan EMI & eligibility calculator

The EMI math is the same for everyone. The rules around it are not. An NRI home loan usually runs a shorter maximum tenure than a resident loan, repays only through your NRE, NRO, or FCNR account or by inward remittance under FEMA, and cannot be taken against agricultural land, a farmhouse, or a plantation.

This calculator does both jobs: the exact EMI and total interest on a loan you have in mind, and a planning estimate of how much you could borrow on your income. The NRI rules sit alongside as notes, so nothing surprises you at the branch.

## What it does

- Exact EMI, total interest, and total repaid on any loan
- A borrowing-capacity estimate from your income and FOIR
- The NRI rules: shorter tenure, NRE/NRO repayment, FEMA limits
- A downloadable report with the loan math and the document checklist

## Common questions

### How is the EMI on an NRI home loan calculated?

The EMI uses the standard reducing-balance formula on the loan amount, the monthly interest rate, and the number of months. It is identical to a resident loan. What differs for an NRI is the maximum tenure, which lenders usually cap shorter, and how repayment must be routed.

### How much home loan can an NRI get?

Lenders size the loan from your income using a fixed-obligation-to-income ratio, typically 40 to 55 percent, after existing EMIs, then apply their maximum NRI tenure. A resident co-applicant can raise the amount. The exact figure is lender-specific; this tool gives a planning estimate.

### How does an NRI repay a home loan in India?

Repayment must come from your NRE, NRO, or FCNR account, or by inward remittance through normal banking channels, under FEMA. You cannot repay an India home loan from a foreign account directly, and you cannot borrow against agricultural land, farmhouses, or plantations.
