Frequently asked questions
How is loan tenure calculated from a fixed EMI?
Using the standard EMI-annuity formula solved for the number of periods, given the principal, rate, and EMI amount you specify.
What if my EMI barely covers the interest?
If the EMI doesn't exceed the first month's interest charge, the loan balance would never reduce — this calculator requires an EMI large enough for the loan to actually amortize.
How can I use this to plan a shorter loan?
Increase the EMI value and see how much shorter the tenure becomes — see also the Home Loan Prepayment Calculator for the effect of extra payments on top of a fixed EMI.
