Calculate monthly EMI, total interest & amortization for your home loan
Enter loan details and click Calculate EMI
EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment — the fixed amount you pay to the bank every month to repay your home loan. Each EMI payment consists of two parts: principal repayment and interest payment. In the early years of a home loan, a larger portion of your EMI goes towards interest, and the principal component gradually increases over time. For example, on a Rs 50 lakh home loan at 8.5% for 20 years, your EMI would be approximately Rs 43,391 — but in the first year, nearly Rs 35,000 of each EMI goes to interest, with only Rs 8,000 reducing the principal.
Understanding your EMI is crucial before taking a home loan because it determines your monthly cash flow commitment for the next 15-30 years. Banks in India typically require that your EMI should not exceed 40-50% of your monthly income. Using this calculator, you can experiment with different loan amounts, interest rates, and tenures to find an EMI that fits your budget comfortably.
The EMI formula is: EMI = P × r × (1+r)n / ((1+r)n - 1), where P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and then by 100), and n is the total number of monthly installments. This is a standard reducing balance formula used by all Indian banks including SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, and Bank of Baroda.
For instance, a Rs 75 lakh loan at 8.5% annual interest for 25 years: r = 8.5 / 12 / 100 = 0.007083, n = 25 × 12 = 300 months. Plugging into the formula gives an EMI of Rs 60,521. Over 25 years, you would pay Rs 1,81,56,360 in total — that is Rs 1,06,56,360 in interest alone, which is 142% of the original loan amount. This is why choosing the right tenure and making prepayments can save you lakhs.
Home loans in India offer significant tax benefits under the Income Tax Act, making them one of the most tax-efficient forms of borrowing. Under Section 24(b), you can claim a deduction of up to Rs 2,00,000 per year on the interest paid on your home loan for a self-occupied property. For a let-out (rented) property, there is no upper limit on the interest deduction — the entire interest paid is deductible against rental income.
Additionally, under Section 80C of the Old Tax Regime, you can claim up to Rs 1,50,000 per year on the principal repayment of your home loan (this includes stamp duty and registration charges in the year of purchase). First-time home buyers can also claim an additional deduction of up to Rs 50,000 under Section 80EE if the loan amount does not exceed Rs 35 lakh and the property value does not exceed Rs 50 lakh. Together, these deductions can reduce your effective interest cost by 30-35% if you are in the highest tax bracket.
Note that under the New Tax Regime (default from FY 2023-24), Section 80C deductions are not available, and the Section 24(b) deduction is limited to Rs 2,00,000 only for let-out properties (not self-occupied). Home buyers should carefully evaluate which regime is more beneficial based on their total deductions. Our calculator shows estimated tax benefits for the first year to help you plan.
