A home loan can help you fund the purchase of your house property without draining your hard-earned savings. However, you must know that the interest rates of the home loans are a crucial cost that you must consider while availing a home loan. The interest rates are decided by the lenders based on your eligibility and profile.

The home loan interest rates sometimes include more than half of the entire repayment amount. While you know the total principal amount you need to pay at the end of the tenure, knowing the total interest component can help you plan your loan better. 

However, you can still get an idea of your interest obligation by using tools like the EMI calculator.

 

What is a Home Loan EMI calculator?

Home loan EMI calculator is an online mathematical tool that you can use to find your home loan interest. This calculator can help you calculate your interest charges payable for the home loan based on the values you enter.   

 

It works on the following mathematical formula:

 

P x R x (1+R)^N / [(1+R)^N-1]

 

Where:

P - Principal loan amount

N = Loan tenure in months

R = interest rate in months.

 

You can use this formula to manually calculate the total interest payable or you can use the EMI calculator for the same.
