1. What is the Home Loan EMI Formula?

The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) formula calculates your fixed monthly payment for a home loan in India. It considers the principal amount, interest rate, and loan tenure.

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
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Example: For ₹50 lakh loan at 6.70% p.a. for 20 years, the monthly EMI would be ₹37,782.

3. Current Home Loan Rates in India

Details: As of 2023, major Indian banks offer home loans between 6.70% to 8.50% p.a. (ICICI: 6.70%, SBI: 6.80%, HDFC: 7.00%).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal in INR, annual interest rate (e.g., 6.70), and loan term in years. The calculator shows EMI, total payment, and total interest.
