Home Loan EMI Calculator
Estimate the monthly payment on a mortgage-style home loan. Enter the amount you borrow after your down payment, the annual rate, the tenure in months and any upfront fee to see the EMI, total interest and the full cost including the fee.
Private by design · Inputs and downloads stay in your browser
Changes the currency symbol and number format only. Amounts are not converted.
Enter the borrowed principal after any down payment. The estimate is not a bank offer. Fees are paid upfront and are not included in the EMI.
How to use the Home Loan EMI Calculator
- Enter the loan amount borrowed, which is the price less your down payment.
- Enter the annual interest rate as a percentage, from 0% to 50%.
- Enter the tenure in whole months. Twenty years is 240 months.
- Enter any upfront processing fee. It is paid at the start and is not added to the EMI.
- Select Calculate to see the EMI, total interest, total repayment and total outflow including the fee, then review the yearly and monthly schedules.
Use the currency selector above the inputs to change the symbol. It changes the display only and does not convert amounts.
How a home loan EMI works
A home loan is repaid in equal monthly instalments over a long tenure. Early payments are mostly interest because the balance is large, and later payments are mostly principal.
Long tenures make each instalment smaller but increase the total interest paid, so it is worth comparing a few tenures before choosing.
How the calculation works
Home loan EMI formula
EMI = P × r ÷ [1 − (1 + r)^(−n)]
Total outflow = total repayment + upfront fee
- P is the amount borrowed.
- r is the monthly rate, the annual rate ÷ 1200.
- n is the number of monthly payments.
This is the same reducing-balance EMI used by the EMI Calculator, with an extra input for the upfront fee. The fee is added to the total outflow only; it is not financed and does not change the EMI.
Home loan EMI example
Borrowing 3,000,000 at 8.5% a year for 240 months, with a 30,000 upfront fee:
| Loan amount borrowed | 3,000,000 |
|---|---|
| Annual interest rate | 8.5% |
| Tenure | 240 months |
| Upfront processing fee | 30,000 |
| Monthly EMI | 26,034.70 |
|---|---|
| Total interest | 3,248,327.28 |
| Total repayment | 6,248,327.28 |
| Total outflow including fee | 6,278,327.28 |
Interest is a little over the amount borrowed because the loan runs 20 years. Amounts are shown without a currency symbol because the arithmetic is identical in any currency. The currency selector only changes the symbol and number format; it never converts amounts.
Assumptions and limitations
Assumptions
- A fixed rate for the whole tenure and a monthly reducing balance.
- Payments are equal and made at the end of each month.
- The amount entered is what you actually borrow, after any down payment.
Limitations and why results can differ
- Floating-rate resets, part-prepayments, insurance, valuation and legal charges, property taxes and stamp duty are not modelled.
- Only the upfront fee you enter is included. Other charges must be added yourself.
- The result is an estimate, not a lender's offer or sanction.
Frequently asked questions
Should I enter the property price or the loan amount?
Enter the amount you borrow, which is the property price less your down payment.
Is the processing fee included in the EMI?
No. It is treated as paid upfront and shown separately in the total outflow.
What happens if my rate is floating?
The calculator holds one fixed rate. If your rate changes, recalculate with the new rate on the remaining balance and tenure.
Does a longer tenure save money?
It lowers each instalment but raises total interest. Compare two tenures in the calculator to see the difference.
Methodology
Inputs are validated: amount from 1 to 1,000,000,000, annual interest from 0% to 50%, tenure from 1 to 600 whole months and an upfront fee from 0 to 100,000,000.
The EMI and the monthly schedule use the same reducing-balance engine as the EMI Calculator. The yearly table adds up the twelve monthly rows in each year and shows the balance at the end of the year. The fee is not financed: it is added to the total repayment only to show the total outflow. Rounding is applied only for display. The calculation runs in your browser and inputs are not sent to a server.
