You should earn at least ₹50,000–60,000/month to comfortably afford a 1BHK (₹18,000–25,000 rent). The 30% rule states rent should not exceed 30% of gross income.
The 30% rule ensures you have enough disposable income for other expenses, EMIs, and savings. It prevents over-commitment to rent and maintains financial stability.
Consider sharing (PG/flat-sharing), relocate to affordable areas, negotiate with sellers, or increase income through side ventures.
Start with PG/hostels, share a 1BHK with roommates, or look in emerging areas. Gradually upgrade as your income increases.
