1. What Is Home Loan Payment Calculation?

The home loan payment calculation determines your monthly mortgage payment based on principal amount, interest rate, and loan term. The 2021 rates were historically low, with ICICI Bank offering around 6.70% p.a. for home loans.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (USD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Number of months (loan term in years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (USD)

Extra Payment Impact: Additional payments reduce principal faster, saving interest and shortening loan term.

3. Importance Of Loan Calculation

Details: Accurate payment calculation helps budgeting, comparing loan offers, and understanding how extra payments can save thousands in interest.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount, interest rate (6.70% was typical for 2021), loan term in years, and optional extra payment. All values must be positive numbers.
