EMI Formula — How It Works
EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1) where P = Principal, r = monthly rate (Annual/12/100), n = months.
Example: ₹10 lakh at 8.5% for 20 years → EMI = ₹8,678/month · Total Interest = ₹10.83 lakh · Total Payment = ₹20.83 lakh.
When Should You Prepay Your Loan?
Prepaying in the first half of the tenure saves maximum interest — because early EMIs are mostly interest. A ₹2 lakh prepayment in year 2 of a 20-year home loan can save ₹4–6 lakh in total interest. Use our Prepayment Calculator above to see your exact savings.
Home Loan vs Car Loan vs Personal Loan — Key Differences
Home Loan: Lowest rates (8.5–9.5%), longest tenure (30 years), secured against property. Car Loan: Medium rates (8–10%), tenure 1–7 years, car as collateral. Personal Loan: Highest rates (10.5–24%), no collateral, fastest disbursement.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to prepay a home loan?
As early as possible — in first 5 years. In the initial years, almost 80–85% of EMI goes toward interest. Prepaying ₹1L in year 1 saves 3x more than prepaying the same ₹1L in year 15. Best strategy: prepay annual bonus or increment every year.
Which saves more — reduce EMI or reduce tenure?
Reduce tenure always saves more total interest. Example: ₹50L loan, prepay ₹3L after year 3. Reduce tenure saves ₹6.2L interest. Reduce EMI saves only ₹2.1L. Choose reduce EMI only if you need lower monthly cash outflow.
Is there a prepayment penalty on home loans?
RBI mandates: NO prepayment penalty on floating-rate home loans. Fixed-rate loans may have 2–4% penalty. Always confirm with your bank. For NBFC loans (Bajaj, LIC HFL), read prepayment clause before taking the loan.
How much should I prepay each year?
Financial advisors recommend prepaying 5–10% of outstanding principal annually. If your loan EMI is ₹30K/month, try to prepay ₹1–2L every year from bonuses or savings. Incremental prepayments beat lumpsum-only strategy for most salaried individuals.
