Purchasing a home has an emotional connection to your life. A home loan can help you achieve it with ease. However, once you take a home loan, the Repayment is to be made with monthly instalments, also known as Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI). Since taking a home loan is a long-term commitment, it is always advisable to have a transparent snapshot before understanding the repayment strategy. You also need to beware that the EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) consists of the principal loan amount and the interest component applicable on the loan. A home loan EMI calculator helps ease such complex interest and EMI calculations online.
To use the online home loan EMI calculator, also called the home loan repayment calculator, you should first estimate the home loan amount you need. Additionally, you should know the approximate EMI amount you can pay out of your monthly income. The housing loan EMI calculator online uses the following formula-
EMI= [P*R*(1+R) ^N] / [(1+R) ^N-1]
In the above formula,
P= principal loan amount
R= rate of interest on loan
N= tenure in number of months
The home loan EMI calculator also functions as a home loan interest calculator. The online home loan EMI calculator as a tool aids in deciding if you can afford the required financial commitment for a home loan in the long run.
If you need a home loan for buying a house, it is crucial to understand your eligibility for the proposed home loan. Once you input the required information in the online home loan calculator, the home loan eligibility calculator displays your eligibility. The eligibility will be based on your net monthly income, loan tenure, interest rate, and other ongoing EMIs you may have through any other existing loans.
The online home loan EMI calculator estimates the loan amount and your contribution required while taking the home loan. In addition, the home loan EMI calculator helps get a proper break-up of the charges that may be levied, such as the processing fees. The online home loan repayment calculator shows all the charges and fees associated with the home loan in absolute numbers. That is important as the banks usually specify such charges as a percentage of the loan amount and not the actual amount.
With the help of an online home loan calculator, you can choose the most appropriate loan tenure, as a higher EMI with a shorter duration of the home loan or a relatively lower amount of EMI with a longer time of the loan term. The home loan calculator gives displays a repayment table as well. It will help you in verifying your repayment schedule with the bank and modify it accordingly if needed. The home loan calculator is also helpful to know the readjusted EMI amount if you have extra funds to pay a part of the loan in a lump sum.
