The 28/36 Rule Explained

Conservative: min(Income × 28%, Income × 36% − Debts)

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.
