1. What is the HDFC Loan EMI Calculator?

The HDFC Netbanking Loan Calculator helps you estimate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for various loan products offered by HDFC Bank through their netbanking platform. Current home loan rates start at 8.45% p.a.

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 and converted to decimal)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of the loan payment, which changes over time with a reducing balance method.

Details: Calculating EMI helps in financial planning, understanding your repayment capacity, and comparing different loan options before applying.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (current HDFC rates start at 8.45%), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
