1. What is Personal Loan Debt Calculation?

The personal loan debt calculation estimates your remaining loan balance considering monthly payments, interest rate, and remaining term. In India, tax implications on interest payments are also considered for accurate financial planning.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan balance formula:

Where:

• \( B \) — Remaining balance (INR)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Remaining number of months

Indian Tax Adjustment: The calculator also shows a tax-adjusted balance considering Indian tax laws on personal loan interest.

3. Importance of Loan Balance Calculation

Details: Knowing your remaining loan balance helps in financial planning, prepayment decisions, and tax planning under Indian income tax laws.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your exact monthly EMI, annual interest rate, remaining months, and applicable tax rate (default 30%). All values must be positive numbers.
