How your home loan EMI is calculated

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)

Example: ₹50 lakh for 20 years at 8.5% gives an EMI of ₹43,391. You repay ₹1.04 crore in total, so interest is ₹54.14 lakh.

EMI per ₹1 lakh at common rates

Ways to reduce your home loan cost

  • Prepay early: part-payments in the first 5–7 years cut interest the most.
  • Increase EMI with salary hikes: even 5% a year shortens a 20-year loan by several years.
  • Balance transfer: moving to a lender 0.5% cheaper can save lakhs on a large loan.
  • Keep a good CIBIL score: 750+ gets you the best rates.

Home loan EMI for common loan amounts

At 8.5% a year for 20 years:

Loan amountMonthly EMITotal interest
₹20 lakh₹17,356₹21.66 lakh
₹30 lakh₹26,035₹32.48 lakh
₹40 lakh₹34,713₹43.31 lakh
₹50 lakh₹43,391₹54.14 lakh
₹75 lakh₹65,087₹81.21 lakh
₹1 crore₹86,782₹1.08 crore

Over 20 years, the interest on a home loan is usually more than the loan itself. That is why prepayment and a shorter tenure matter so much.

The power of prepayment

Take a ₹30 lakh loan at 8.5% for 20 years (EMI ₹26,035, total interest ₹32.48 lakh):

  • Prepay ₹1 lakh every year and keep the same EMI: the loan closes in about 11 years 9 months and you save about ₹14.8 lakh in interest.
  • Raise your EMI by 5% every year instead: the loan closes in about 12 years 3 months and total interest falls to about ₹20.8 lakh.

Frequently asked questions

Can I claim tax benefits on a home loan?

Under the old tax regime: up to ₹1.5 lakh on principal under Section 80C and up to ₹2 lakh on interest for a self-occupied home under Section 24(b). The new regime does not allow these for self-occupied homes.

Is there a penalty for prepaying a home loan?

No. RBI does not allow prepayment penalties on floating-rate home loans taken by individuals.

Fixed or floating rate?

Most Indian home loans are floating and linked to the repo rate. Fixed rates are usually higher and often reset after a few years.

How much home loan can I get on my salary?

Banks usually let your total EMIs reach 50–60% of your take-home pay. Try our home loan eligibility calculator for your exact figure.

What is the EMI on a ₹30 lakh home loan for 20 years?

At 8.5%, about ₹26,035 a month. At 9% it is about ₹26,992.

Does the EMI change when the repo rate changes?

For floating-rate loans, banks usually keep your EMI the same and change the tenure. You can ask them to change the EMI instead.
