1. What is SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator?

The SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator with Prepayment helps you estimate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for State Bank of India home loans, accounting for any prepayments you might make during the loan tenure.

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)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months

For prepayment calculations, the outstanding principal is recalculated at the time of prepayment, and the EMI is recomputed for the remaining tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps in financial planning, understanding total interest outgo, and assessing the impact of prepayments on loan tenure or EMI reduction.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in INR, annual interest rate (like 8.5 for 8.5%), loan term in years, and optional prepayment details. All values must be positive numbers.
