1. What is SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator?

The SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for a home loan from State Bank of India, including the option to calculate savings from prepayments. It uses the standard EMI formula adjusted for SBI's current interest rates.

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

Prepayment Adjustment: Any prepayment amount is subtracted from the principal before calculating the new EMI.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps in financial planning, understanding total interest cost, and evaluating prepayment options to reduce interest burden.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in INR, SBI's current interest rate (starting at 8.40% p.a.), loan term in years, and optional prepayment amount. All values must be positive numbers.
