Home Loan EMI Calculator

A home loan is usually the largest loan you will ever take, and a small difference in rate or tenure can change the total interest by lakhs. This calculator shows your exact monthly EMI for any home loan amount, interest rate and tenure, plus the total interest you will pay over the life of the loan. Use it to compare offers from banks and housing finance companies before you sign.

The amount you borrow (property price minus down payment).

Monthly EMI

₹43,391

Fixed payment due every month.

Total interest payable
₹54,13,879
Total payment (principal + interest)
₹1,04,13,879

Estimates only. Actual EMIs depend on your lender's exact terms, fees, rate type and rounding, and floating rates change over time. This is not financial advice.

How it works

Home loan EMI uses the reducing-balance formula — interest is charged only on the outstanding principal:

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n ÷ ((1 + r)n − 1)

  • P — loan principal
  • r — monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
  • n — number of monthly instalments (years × 12)

Most home loans in India carry floating rates. When rates change, lenders usually keep your EMI fixed and stretch or shrink the tenure instead — so re-check your numbers after every rate revision.

Worked example

Borrow ₹50,00,000 at 8.5% per annum for 20 years (240 months):

  • Monthly EMI = ₹43,391
  • Total payment = 43,391 × 240 = ₹1,04,13,879
  • Total interest = 1,04,13,879 − 50,00,000 = ₹54,13,879 — more than the principal borrowed

Shortening the tenure to 15 years raises the EMI to about ₹49,205 but cuts total interest to roughly ₹38,56,900.

Understanding your results

Monthly EMI is what leaves your account each month — lenders generally want it under 40–50% of your monthly income. Total interest is the true cost of the loan: on a 20-year tenure it can exceed the principal itself. Total payment is the full amount you will have paid the lender.

Compare offers on total interest, not just EMI — and remember that prepaying principal early in the tenure saves far more interest than prepaying later, because early EMIs are mostly interest.

Frequently asked questions

A longer tenure lowers the EMI but raises total interest sharply — a 30-year loan can cost nearly twice the principal in interest. Choose the shortest tenure whose EMI fits comfortably in your budget, and prepay when you can.
