1. What is SBI Home Loan EMI?

The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to SBI each month to repay their home loan. It includes 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 ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan tenure in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment needed to fully repay the loan over the specified tenure, accounting for compound interest.

3. Current SBI Home Loan Rates

Details: As of 2024, SBI offers home loans starting at 8.40% p.a. for salaried individuals. Rates vary based on loan amount, tenure, and borrower profile.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (default 8.40%), and loan tenure in years. The calculator will show EMI, total payment, and total interest.
