The amount that you can borrow depends on various factors. The primary thing considered by the lenders is how much you earn or your salary/wages. The monthly income is calculated by adding your salary and other income. The monthly expenditure is another consideration.
How Much Can I Borrow = {Monthly Income} – {Monthly Liabilities+ Monthly Housing Expenses+ Other Monthly Expenses}*
* depends on the Loan Term and Interest Rate
The lenders judge the amount you can borrow on the basis of your monthly income and monthly liabilities. The liabilities include your housing loan expenses, auto loan, credit card and other payments. If you have more of income and less liabilities then the amount that can be borrowed will be more while if your liabilities exceed your income then the amount to be borrowed will be less. The interest rates on the amount borrowed will depend on the rate prevailing as well as on the term of the loan.
