Indicative loan figures. The payment uses the annuity formula (fixed rate). The real interest and APR depend on the bank, on IRCC and on fees — the figures here are estimates. Instant in-browser calculation, no account.

iHow it is calculated

The maximum monthly payment is the share of income allowed by the debt ratio, minus existing payments; from it the maximum loan follows:

max payment = income × ratio existing payments

On a net income of 6,000, with no other payments, at a 40% ratio: the max payment is 2,400; over 30 years at 6.5% that is a loan of about 380,000.

?Frequently asked questions

How much loan can I get based on income?

The amount depends on net income, existing payments and the allowed debt ratio. At a 40% ratio, the total monthly payment cannot exceed 40% of net income; that maximum payment gives the maximum loan.

What is the debt-to-income ratio (DSTI)?

It is the ratio of total monthly payments to net monthly income. It measures how much of your income goes to debt; banks use it to decide how much they can safely lend you.

What is the maximum debt ratio in Romania?

The central bank rule caps the ratio at 40% of net income for loans in lei (less for foreign-currency loans). For buying a first home, the limit can be a few points higher.

How is the maximum loan calculated?

The maximum monthly payment is computed (ratio × income − existing payments), then the annuity formula is inverted with the interest and term to find the amount that payment can support.

What income is taken into account?

Usually net, stable and provable income: the salary, sometimes rent or other recurring income. Bonuses and variable income may be counted partly or not at all, depending on the bank.

Do existing payments count?

Yes. Current payments (other loans, cards, leasing) are subtracted from your repayment capacity, reducing the maximum payment available for the new loan and therefore the amount you can borrow.

How do I increase the amount I can borrow?

Through higher, provable income, reducing or closing existing debt, a longer term (which lowers the payment), or adding a co-borrower with income, within the debt-ratio limit.

Does the debt ratio differ for a first home?

Yes, the rules allow a slightly higher ratio for buying a first home than for other loans, specifically to ease access to home ownership.
