How home loan EMI is calculated
Your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed amount paid every month for the entire loan tenure. It covers both principal (the amount you borrowed) and markup (the bank's profit). Early installments are markup-heavy; later ones pay down principal faster.
The standard formula is:
EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1)
Where P is principal, r is monthly markup rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is number of monthly installments.
Example: PKR 50 Lakh home loan at 16% for 20 years
Using the default rate of 16% (SBP 11% + 5% bank markup), a 20-year home financing of PKR 5,000,000:
- Monthly EMI: approximately PKR 69,563
- Total amount payable: approximately PKR 1,66,95,096
- Total markup (interest): approximately PKR 1,16,95,096
The total markup is more than 2× the original loan — this is typical for long-tenure loans at Pakistan's current rates. Shortening tenure to 15 years roughly cuts total markup by 25–30%.
Conventional vs Islamic home financing
Pakistan has a large Islamic banking sector offering Shariah-compliant alternatives. The most common structures are:
- Diminishing Musharakah — used by Meezan Bank, Al Baraka, Faysal Islamic. You and the bank jointly own the property; you gradually buy out the bank's share with monthly rent + equity payments.
- Ijarah — the bank owns the property and leases it to you. After the lease ends, ownership transfers to you.
- Murabaha — less common for homes. Bank buys the property and resells it to you at a fixed profit margin, payable in installments.
Effective monthly payments for Islamic products are similar to conventional — the structure differs legally, not economically.
Subsidized schemes — Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar
The government's Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar (MPMG) scheme offers subsidized rates for first-time buyers in specific housing categories. Typical rates are 3% (first 5 years) rising to 7% (later). Eligibility depends on income, property size, and region. Our calculator doesn't auto-apply these — enter the subsidized rate manually if you qualify.
