1. What is the SBI Home Loan Interest Rate Calculator?

This calculator estimates the annual interest rate for SBI home loans based on your monthly payment amount, principal, and loan term. It helps you understand the effective interest rate you're paying on your home loan.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ r = \frac{\left(\frac{PMT \times n}{P} - 1\right)}{t} \]

Where:

\( r \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)
\( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (INR)
\( n \) — Total number of payments (unitless)
\( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
\( t \) — Loan term in years (unitless)

Explanation: The formula calculates the effective interest rate by comparing the total amount paid to the principal borrowed, adjusted for the loan term.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your exact monthly EMI amount, total number of EMIs, principal loan amount, and loan term in years. For accurate results, use values from your loan statement.
