Loan Eligibility Calculator Pakistan: Your Guide to Smart Borrowing

In Pakistan’s dynamic financial landscape, understanding your loan eligibility is critical for both personal and business financing. This comprehensive guide explains how our Loan Eligibility Calculator works, its key terms, and how to interpret results for informed borrowing decisions.

What Is a Loan Eligibility Calculator?

A loan eligibility calculator is a digital tool that helps potential borrowers determine:

• The maximum loan amount they qualify for
• Equated Monthly Installment (EMI)
• Total interest payable over the loan tenure
• Risk assessment based on income and existing debts

In Pakistan, such tools must adhere to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) regulations, including a maximum 30% APR and Sharia-compliant financing options.

Key Terms Explained

1. EMI (Equated Monthly Installment)

The fixed monthly payment comprises principal + interest. Calculated using:

EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n − 1]  
Where:  
P = Loan amount  
r = Monthly interest rate  
n = Tenure in months  

2. APR (Annual Percentage Rate)

The yearly interest rate charged by Pakistani banks ranges from 12% to 30%.

3. Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)

A critical metric is where:

DTI = (Existing Debts + Proposed EMI) / Monthly Income  

SBP recommends DTI ≤ 40% for safe borrowing.

4. Amortization Schedule

Why Loan Eligibility Matters in Pakistan

1. Regulatory Compliance
   • SBP’s 30% APR cap prevents predatory lending.
   • Mandatory credit checks via Credit Information Bureau (CIB).
2. Islamic Financing Options
   • Qarz-e-Hasna (interest-free loans) for low-income groups.
   • Murabaha (cost-plus financing) for Sharia-compliant loans.
3. Regional Variations
   • Punjab/Sindh have lower rates vs. Balochistan’s higher-risk zones.
