EMI Formula Used

EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ [(1+r)ⁿ − 1]  |  P = Principal · r = Monthly rate (Annual% ÷ 12 ÷ 100) · n = Tenure in months

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EMI for a ₹50 lakh home loan at 8.5% for 20 years? ▼
Approximately ₹43,391/month. Total interest: ~₹54.1 lakh. Total repayment: ~₹1.04 crore. The EMI formula uses the reducing balance method — early payments are interest-heavy, later payments are principal-heavy. See the Amortisation schedule above for a full year-by-year breakdown.
Should I transfer my home loan to a new lender? ▼
Enable the Balance Transfer Analysis toggle. Key rule: break-even within 18–24 months, with ≥5 years tenure remaining and ≥0.5% rate reduction. Transfer costs are typically 0.5–1% of outstanding loan.
Should I reduce EMI or tenure when prepaying? ▼
Reducing tenure almost always saves more interest. A ₹5L prepayment on a ₹50L loan in Year 1 can save ₹10L+ in interest. Use the EMI vs Tenure Optimizer toggle to compare both options for your exact surplus.
Is floating or fixed rate better? ▼
Floating (RLLR/MCLR-linked) is 0.5–1% cheaper upfront. When RBI is cutting rates, floating is strongly preferable. Fixed makes sense only near rate cycle lows. Use the Floating vs Fixed toggle to model your specific scenario.
How much home loan can I get on my salary? ▼
Banks allow EMI up to 40–50% of net take-home. Enter your salary in the Affordability section and toggle the 40%/50% rule. At ₹1L/mo take-home, 8.5%, 20 years: eligible for ~₹50–62L loan.
What does the Cumulative P vs I chart show? ▼
It plots running total of principal repaid (blue) vs cumulative interest paid (red). The crossover point is when principal overtakes interest — meaning you've paid more towards ownership than to the bank. On a 20-year loan at 8.5%, this typically occurs around Year 12–14.
Can I claim tax deduction on home loan EMI? ▼
Old Tax Regime only: Interest up to ₹2L under Sec 24(b); principal up to ₹1.5L under Sec 80C. Not available under New Tax Regime. Use the Tax Benefits toggle above and our Income Tax Calculator to model full impact.

Methodology, assumptions and sources

Scope: Computes the Equated Monthly Instalment for a loan using the standard reducing-balance (amortising) method, plus the year-wise principal/interest split.

Calculation logic

  1. Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate: r = annual_rate / 12 / 100.
  2. Compute EMI = P × r × (1+r)n / ((1+r)n − 1), where P is principal and n is the number of months.
  3. If r = 0 (zero-interest case), EMI = P / n.
  4. Build the amortisation schedule by applying interest to the opening balance each month, then reducing it by the principal component of that month's EMI.

Inputs and assumptions

Exclusions and edge cases

Sources

No external regulatory source applies — this is a general financial formula, not a statutory computation.

Review status: reviewed and approved by CA Nikhil Gupta on 3 June 2026.

Use lender-specific assumptions

Model-input warning: any product rate range, FOIR/EMI-to-income heuristic or lender practice shown on this page should be treated as illustrative—not as a live offer, universal underwriting rule or eligibility promise. Enter the actual rate, tenure, fees and repayment structure from the lender's current quotation/sanction terms.

Loan-document reconciliation

The EMI formula is only one part of loan cost. Compare the calculator with the lender's Key Facts Statement (KFS), annual percentage rate, amortisation schedule, reset clause, processing and third-party charges, prepayment terms and insurance choices.

APR example

Two lenders quote the same interest rate, but one deducts a higher processing fee from disbursal. Their EMIs may appear similar while the annual percentage rate differs. Compare cash actually received with every required repayment, not only the nominal rate.

Floating-rate case

A benchmark increase would extend the remaining tenor beyond the borrower's planning horizon. Review the lender's communication and available choices, including higher EMI, longer tenor, combination, prepayment or a fixed-rate switch where offered, with the associated charges disclosed.
