1. What is HDFC Home Loan EMI Calculator?

The HDFC Home Loan EMI Calculator helps you estimate your Equated Monthly Installments (EMI) for home loans offered by HDFC Bank. It uses the standard EMI formula to calculate your monthly payments based on loan amount, interest rate, and tenure.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Loan tenure in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Example: For a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.45% p.a. for 20 years, the EMI would be ₹43,054.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Knowing your EMI helps in financial planning, loan comparison, and determining affordable loan amounts. HDFC offers rates starting at 8.45% p.a. with terms up to 30 years.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in INR, annual interest rate (current HDFC rate is 8.45%), and loan tenure in years. The calculator will show EMI, total interest, and total payment.
