Worked Examples

Example 1: Salaried Professional with Good Credit

This estimate suggests a maximum credit card limit of approximately ₹30,000 for this profile.

Example 2: Self-employed Individual with Fair Credit

Input:

Monthly Income: ₹75,000
Credit Score: Fair (0.4 multiplier)
Employment Type: Self-employed (0.8 multiplier)

Calculation:

Estimated Limit = (75,000 × 0.4) × 0.8 = ₹24,000

This estimate suggests a maximum credit card limit of approximately ₹24,000 for this profile.
