1. What is SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator?

The SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator with Prepayment helps you estimate your monthly Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for State Bank of India home loans, accounting for any prepayments you might make. Current SBI home loan rates start at 7.50% 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)

Prepayment Adjustment: The calculator first deducts any prepayment amount from the principal before calculating the EMI.

Tips: Enter loan amount in INR, annual interest rate (current SBI rate is 7.50%), loan term in years, and optional prepayment amount. All values must be valid (principal > 0, rate between 0.1-20%, term 1-30 years).
