How much salary and budget are required to buy a ₹2 crore property in Bengaluru’s real estate market?

To buy a ₹2 crore property in Bengaluru’s real estate market, the ideal monthly salary and budget depend on several financial factors including the down payment, loan tenure, interest rate, and EMI affordability. Generally, home loan EMIs should not exceed 40-45% of the monthly income, which means to comfortably afford a ₹2 crore home loan, one would need a combined monthly income of approximately ₹3 to ₹4 lakh. This translates to an annual salary in the range of ₹40-50 lakh for prospective buyers.

A common scenario for financing such a purchase involves making a down payment of about 20-25%, which is around ₹40-50 lakh upfront, including additional fees and taxes. The remaining ₹1.5 crore is typically financed through a home loan with interest rates around 7.9% and a tenure of 20-25 years. For a 25-year loan, monthly EMIs would be approximately ₹1.53 lakh, and for 20 years around ₹1.66 lakh. Managing such EMIs usually requires dual incomes or family financial support to maintain affordable cash flow and meet other expenses.

Financial discipline, a good credit score, and prudent EMI planning are essential. A sizable down payment reduces the loan amount and EMIs, lowering financial stress. Many buyers share that purchasing such high-value properties is feasible with coordinated dual incomes, family backing, and long-term saving strategies. Caution is advised against overstretching budgets, as peace of mind from buying within means often outweighs owning an expensive home at financial risk.

In summary, a ₹2 crore property in Bengaluru demands a monthly household income of about ₹3-4 lakh, a down payment close to ₹50 lakh, and careful EMI management over two decades for financial sustainability.hindustantimes+3
