About
About this calculator
Planning a home purchase in Pune or elsewhere in India starts with the down payment. This calculator estimates how long it will take to reach your target down payment based on the property price you have in mind, what you have saved today, monthly savings, and an optional return on your savings pot.
Most home loans require 15–25% upfront for residential property, depending on your profile and the lender. Seeing the gap between current savings and the target amount, and how many months or years of disciplined saving close that gap, helps you align site visits and bookings with a realistic timeline.
Figures are illustrative. Inflation, bonus income, and changes in property price will shift your plan. Pair this with our home affordability and stamp duty calculators, or contact 3 Works Properties for curated listings in your budget.
