1. What is SBI Home Loan EMI?

The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to the lender (SBI Bank) each month until the loan is paid off. It includes both principal and interest components.

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 ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan tenure in months (years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a loan over a specified period, accounting for compound interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, plan finances, and compare different loan options before committing to a home loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (current SBI rate is 7.50%), and loan tenure in years. All values must be positive numbers.
