1. What is SBI Home Loan EMI?

The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to the lender (SBI) each month until the loan is paid off. It consists of both principal and interest components.

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 months)
• \( n \) — Loan tenure in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that will completely pay off the loan over its term, including interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, plan finances, and choose appropriate loan terms. SBI's 2025 home loan rates start at 8.40% p.a.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (default 8.40%), and loan tenure in years. All values must be positive numbers.
