How the EMI is calculated

Every Indian bank uses the same reducing-balance formula:

EMI = P × r × (1+r)n ÷ ((1+r)n − 1)

P = loan amount, r = monthly rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100), n = months (years × 12). See what EMI means and EBLR.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is home loan EMI calculated?

EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the principal, r the monthly rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n the number of months. Every Indian bank uses this same reducing-balance formula.

What is the current home loan rate in India?

Roughly 7.75%–9% p.a. as of June 2026, floating with the RBI repo (5.25%). Your CIBIL score, LTV and income type decide the exact rate.

What is the maximum home loan tenure?

Up to 30 years at most banks, subject to your age at maturity. A longer tenure lowers the EMI but raises total interest.

Should I prepay or invest?

Prepaying saves a guaranteed ~8.5%. Investing may earn more (Nifty long-run ≈ 12%) but carries risk. The calculator compares both with your numbers.

Are there tax benefits on a home loan?

Under the old regime, Section 24(b) allows up to ₹2 lakh on interest and 80C up to ₹1.5 lakh on principal. Confirm eligibility with a tax advisor.
