1. What is the HDFC Loan Calculator?

The HDFC Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly loan payments for HDFC bank loans using the standard loan payment formula. It calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a loan over a specified term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount
• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in months)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest charges, spreading the payments equally over the loan term.

3. Importance of Loan Payment Calculation

Details: Calculating your monthly payment helps in financial planning, budgeting, and comparing different loan options before borrowing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in months. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q3: How accurate is this calculator?

Q4: Can I use this for part-prepayments?
A: No, this calculator assumes regular fixed payments without any prepayments or payment holidays.

Q5: What if I want to calculate for weekly or quarterly payments?
A: You would need to adjust both the interest rate (divide annual rate by number of periods per year) and the term (multiply years by periods per year).
