    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.
