The 28/36 Rule Explained

Moderate: Income × 28% → home budget
Aggressive: Income × 40% → maximum stretch
Max Home Price = Loan from EMI capacity + Down Payment
Affordability Tips
- Stay within the conservative estimate if your income is variable or you expect major expenses soon.
- A larger down payment reduces your loan burden and improves both affordability and interest rates.
- Budget 1–2% of home value annually for maintenance, insurance, and property taxes beyond your EMI.
- Consider the aggressive scenario only if you expect significant income growth in the next 2–3 years.
- Don't forget stamp duty (4–8%) and registration fees when planning your home purchase budget.
