1. What is the LIC HFL Loan Calculator?

The LIC HFL Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for a home loan from LIC Housing Finance Limited. It uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment
• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize the loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of Loan Payment Calculation

Details: Calculating your expected EMI helps in financial planning, determining loan affordability, and comparing different loan options before committing to a home loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
