Luxembourg credit card limit calculator
Enter one applicant or cardholder to see the credit limit in Luxembourg. It is the lowest of what card behaviour allows, what income carries after other debts and what the rules allow, and the result shows which one binds.
Credit limit
The limit is €7,500, set by behaviour limit. Behaviour gives €7,500, income carries €16,000, and the market’s rules allow no cap, which reflects an income cap in some markets and a repayment test in others.
Utilisation between the low and high marks earns the small increase.
Candidate limits
The lowest candidate is the limit, and a candidate with no cap has no bar.

Behaviour limit, New applicant = Starting income multiple × Monthly net income Behaviour limit, Cardholder = Today’s limit × (1 + Large increase | Small increase) or × (1 − Cut after missed payments) Affordability limit = (Income share for all debt payments × Monthly net income − Other debt payments) ÷ Card payment share of limit Own income cap = Own income cap × Monthly net income Market = Lowest applicable market cap Credit limit = min(Behaviour limit, Affordability limit, Own income cap, Market), Rounded down Rounding step
The affordability limit assumes the card is fully drawn, and the behaviour rules are an example policy to edit, not a standard. Regulatory caps are summaries for this tool and are not legal advice.
How credit limits are set in Luxembourg
Luxembourg requires a creditworthiness assessment before consumer credit and sets no cap on the credit limit. The tool uses the affordability limit to represent that assessment and shows it alongside the other limits.
The credit limit is the lowest of the behaviour limit, affordability limit, lender’s own income cap and market rule. Which one binds changes from person to person, so you can review one applicant or cardholder and edit the example behaviour policy.
