Overview

A home loan is often the single largest financial commitment a household makes. Small changes in interest rate, tenure or down payment can shift your monthly cash flow and the total interest paid by lakhs. This Home Loan EMI Calculator turns those abstract figures into simple numbers you can act on. Use it to estimate monthly EMI, total interest and cumulative repayment so you can make better borrowing decisions.

How it works

Enter three values: the loan amount you plan to borrow, the annual interest rate and the tenure (years or months). The tool converts the annual rate into a monthly rate and applies the standard EMI formula: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ / ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1), where P is principal, r is monthly interest rate and n is the number of monthly instalments.

If the monthly rate is zero the calculator uses a simple division (principal ÷ months). The output shows the monthly EMI, the total interest paid over the loan life and the total repayment (principal + interest). A compact visual bar breaks down principal vs interest percentages so you can quickly see the relative shares.

Practical tips & examples

Try these quick scenarios to learn how small changes matter:

• Change tenure: Reducing tenure from 20 to 15 years raises EMI but lowers total interest sharply.
• Negotiate rate: A 0.25% cut on a large home loan can save tens of thousands over time.
• Prepayment: Annual part-prepayments reduce outstanding principal and shorten the tenure or lower future EMI.

Example: on a ₹50,00,000 loan at 8.5% for 20 years, moving to 15 years increases EMI but reduces total interest by a meaningful margin. Use the calculator to run side-by-side comparisons and decide which trade-off suits your cashflow.

Privacy & performance

All calculations run inside your browser — we do not upload or store your numbers. That makes the tool fast, private, and usable offline once loaded. For sensitive client data or internal figures, this client-side operation keeps your inputs local.

Interpreting results

Monthly EMI shows the fixed monthly payment based on the inputs and assumes the rate remains constant. Total interest is the extra amount you pay beyond the principal over the full tenure. Total repayment adds principal and interest and represents the overall cash outflow.

The principal-versus-interest bar clarifies when most of your EMI is paying interest (early years) and how it shifts toward principal over time. This is useful when planning prepayments or switching to a shorter tenure.

Common adjustments & caveats

Lenders may add processing fees, insurance or apply different compounding rules — these are not modelled directly here. If your lender adds up-front fees to the principal, include those in the loan amount for a more accurate estimate.

Floating-rate loans change with market conditions; for planning use the current effective rate and re-run the calculator if your lender revises the rate. If you want a month-by-month amortisation schedule or an exportable CSV, tell us and we can add that feature.

Use this calculator for quick “what-if” planning: test down payment sizes, tenure changes, small rate differences, and planned prepayments before you sign an agreement. It’s a planning tool — always confirm official numbers with the lender’s sanction letter and amortisation schedule.
