1. What is HDFC Home Loan EMI?

The HDFC Home Loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to repay their home loan. It includes both principal and interest components, calculated using standard amortization formulas.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard 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)

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan period, distributing payments equally each month.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, plan finances, and choose appropriate loan terms that fit their budget.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (current HDFC rates start at 7.90% p.a.), and loan tenure in years. All values must be positive numbers.
