1. What is SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator?

The SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator helps you estimate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for State Bank of India home loans. It uses the standard EMI formula with current SBI home loan interest rates starting at 7.50% p.a.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

Where:

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