About this home loan
A home loan is usually the biggest loan a family takes, and it runs for 15–30 years, so small differences in rate and tenure turn into lakhs of rupees. The calculator opens with ₹25 lakh at 8.5% for 20 years. Change any of the three and the EMI, the interest and the year-by-year schedule update at once.
The figures use the reducing-balance method banks follow: interest each month is charged on what you still owe. Nothing you enter leaves your browser. Your own bank’s EMI can differ slightly because of rounding, the date of the first EMI and fees, so confirm it on the sanction letter.
How to use it
- The calculator is open with ₹25,00,000 at 8.5% for 20 years. Change the amount, rate or tenure.
- Read the monthly EMI, the total interest and the total amount payable.
- Open "Part-prepayment" to see how an extra payment shortens the loan and saves interest.
- Scroll to the schedule for each year, and download it as a PDF or CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How much EMI is safe for my income?
A common rule of thumb is that all EMIs together should stay below about 40–50% of your monthly take-home pay. Lenders apply their own limits, so use the calculator to see what each rate and tenure means for your budget.
How is the home loan EMI calculated?
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n ÷ ((1 + r)^n − 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly rate (yearly rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of months. See the guide "How to calculate EMI" for a worked example.
Does the EMI include processing fees and insurance?
No. It covers principal and interest only. Fees, insurance and taxes on them are extra, so check the sanction letter.
How can I reduce the interest I pay?
Choose the longest tenure you will not need and prepay when you can: early part-payments cut the most interest on a 15–20 year loan. Compare the rate and the processing fee together, and ask whether the rate is floating (linked to a benchmark) or fixed. Interest and principal on a home loan may qualify for tax deductions; check the current rules with a tax adviser.
