Loan Calculators

Borrowing decisions turn on two numbers that pull in opposite directions: the instalment you pay each month and the interest the loan costs in total. A longer tenure always improves the first and always worsens the second. These calculators show both together, along with the month-by-month schedule that explains why early instalments barely dent the balance.

Getting a useful answer

A few things worth knowing before you read too much into any single number these calculators produce.

  • 01

    The instalment is not the cost of the loan

    Stretching a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% from 15 to 20 years lowers the instalment by roughly ₹5,850 a month but adds about ₹15.5 lakh in interest. Both numbers are real; only one of them shows up in your monthly budget. Every loan calculator here reports the pair.

  • 02

    Early instalments are mostly interest

    Interest is charged on the balance outstanding, which is at its highest at the start. On a 20-year home loan, the first instalment is typically over 80% interest. That is also why prepaying early saves so much more than prepaying late.

  • 03

    Prepayment usually beats refinancing small rate gaps

    A modest prepayment applied early can save more interest than chasing a quarter-point rate reduction, and it carries no processing fee or paperwork. The prepayment calculator quantifies the saving against your own balance and rate.

  • 04

    Floating rates move the schedule, not usually the EMI

    Most Indian home loans are linked to an external benchmark. When rates rise, lenders normally extend the tenure and leave the instalment alone — so the total interest changes even though nothing visible does. Re-run the numbers after any reset.
