The amount of a personal loan you can get based on your salary can vary depending on several factors including your income, credit history, and debt-to-income ratio. Lenders typically have their own criteria for determining loan amounts, but as a general rule, they may offer a loan amount that is a certain percentage of your annual income. This percentage can range from 20% to 40%, although it could be higher or lower depending on the lender's policies.


It's important to note that while your salary is considered during the loan approval process, lenders also consider other factors such as your credit score and employment history. These factors can affect the interest rate offered and the overall approval decision.


To get a better idea of the loan amount you may be eligible for, it is recommended to consult with multiple lenders or use online loan calculators to estimate potential loan amounts based on your salary and other financial information. Keep in mind that responsible borrowing involves considering your ability to repay the loan comfortably and not taking on more debt than you can manage.
