EMI calculation for a personal loan on a ₹15,000 salary

The EMI for a personal loan is determined by three key factors: loan amount, interest rate and loan tenure. For a monthly salary of ₹ 15,000, lenders generally allow EMIs of 40-50% of income. This means a safe and affordable EMI range of ₹6,000 to ₹7,500 per month. The final loan amount depends on the selected interest rate and repayment tenure. To ensure repayment comfort, lenders structure EMIs within ₹6,000-7,500, which equals 40-50% of a ₹15,000 monthly income.
