What is a Home Loan EMI Calculator?
Once a home loan is availed, the repayment is to be done in monthly installments which are known as Equated Monthly Installments (EMI). As taking a home loan is a long-term commitment it is always advisable to have a better understanding of the repayment scheme. An EMI component includes both the principal loan amount and the interest component, hence the Home Loan EMI Calculator eases such calculations online.
To use the SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator online, first, analyze the amount of loan to be raised along with the approximate EMI amount that can be paid off from the monthly income.
SBI home loan EMI calculator works on the below-mentioned formula
EMI = [P x R x (1+R) ^ N] / [(1+R) ^ (N-1)].
Where:–
- P is the principal or the loan amount.
- R is the rate of interest calculated per month.
- N is the loan tenure in months.
For example, a home loan of INR 60 Lakh at a 9% (0.75% per month) rate of interest with a tenure of 20 years (240 months) is availed by the customer.
Then, EMI would be = [60,00,000 x 0.75% x (1+0.75%) ^ 240] / [(1+0.75%)^ (240-1)].
i.e. EMI = INR 53,984.
