Your loan after the prepayment

A prepayment reduces your outstanding loan balance.

Interest is then calculated on the lower balance.

Your new loan balance will appear here once you calculate.

Keep your EMI or reduce your EMI?

After a prepayment, your lender may let you either reduce your EMI or reduce your loan tenure.

Keep your EMI and reduce your tenureYou keep paying the same EMI and finish the loan sooner.
Reduce your EMI and keep your tenureYour monthly EMI goes down, while the loan continues for about the same period.

Neither option is right for everyone.

The calculator shows both options so you can compare them.

Ask your lender which option they apply by default and whether you can choose the other option.

What if you prepay a different amount?

See how your savings could change if you prepay ₹1 lakh, ₹2 lakh, ₹5 lakh or ₹10 lakh.

Are there charges for prepaying a home loan?

Under RBI rules, lenders cannot charge prepayment fees on floating-rate home loans taken by individuals for personal use.

Fixed-rate loans and loans taken for business purposes can have different rules.

Check your loan agreement or Key Facts Statement, and confirm with your lender before you prepay.

If another lender offers you a lower rate, you can also compare switching with the Home Loan Balance Transfer Calculator.

Does prepayment affect your tax benefit?

It can.

Prepaying your home loan reduces the interest you pay in future years.

This may also reduce the home-loan interest you can claim as a tax deduction.

Tax treatment depends on your tax regime and personal situation.

Check with a tax adviser before making a decision based on tax savings.

How we calculate your prepayment savings

1Work out your current EMI. We calculate the EMI using your outstanding loan amount, interest rate and remaining tenure.
2Apply the prepayment. Your extra payment is deducted from the outstanding loan balance.
3Recalculate the loan. We calculate what happens if you keep the same EMI and reduce the tenure, and what happens if you reduce the EMI and keep the tenure.
4Compare the results. We compare both options with the original loan. The difference in total interest is your estimated interest saving.

Frequently asked questions

Does home loan prepayment reduce EMI or tenure?

It can do either, depending on how your lender applies the prepayment.

You may be able to keep the same EMI and reduce your loan tenure, or reduce your EMI and keep a similar tenure.

Is it better to reduce EMI or tenure after prepayment?

Keeping the same EMI generally results in greater interest savings because the loan is paid off sooner.

Reducing the EMI gives you more money available each month.

For example, on a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% with 15 years left, a ₹5 lakh prepayment saves about ₹10.91 lakh if you keep the EMI, and about ₹3.86 lakh if you reduce the EMI.

Compare both options based on your own financial needs.

How much interest can I save by prepaying ₹5 lakh?

On a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% with 15 years left, a ₹5 lakh prepayment made now saves about ₹10.91 lakh in interest and finishes the loan 2 years 8 months earlier, if you keep the same EMI.

Your saving depends on your outstanding loan, interest rate, remaining tenure and when you prepay.

Enter your numbers above to see your own estimate.

Does the timing of a prepayment matter?

Yes.

An earlier prepayment can save more interest because it reduces your outstanding balance sooner.

In the same example, ₹5 lakh paid now saves about ₹10.91 lakh, while the same amount paid after 5 years saves about ₹5.82 lakh.

Can I prepay my home loan every year?

Many home loans allow part-prepayments, but the rules can vary by lender and loan type.

Check your loan agreement and confirm with your lender.

On a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% with 15 years left, paying an extra ₹1 lakh every year saves about ₹10.01 lakh and finishes the loan 3 years 6 months earlier.

What if I pay one extra EMI every year?

An extra EMI is a form of prepayment.

It can reduce the interest you pay and help you finish the loan earlier.

On a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% with 15 years left, one extra EMI of ₹49,237 each year saves about ₹5.77 lakh and finishes the loan 2 years earlier.

Use the Every year option above to check your own loan.

Does prepayment reduce the principal?

Yes.

A prepayment reduces the outstanding principal of your loan.

Future interest is then calculated on the lower balance.

Are there charges for prepaying a home loan?

Under RBI rules, lenders cannot charge prepayment fees on floating-rate home loans taken by individuals for personal use.

Fixed-rate loans and business loans can have different rules.

Check your loan agreement or Key Facts Statement and confirm with your lender.

Does this calculator include prepayment charges?

No.

The calculator focuses on the estimated interest and tenure impact of your prepayment.

Any lender-specific charges are not included.

What happens if I prepay the whole loan?

Your outstanding loan balance can be reduced to zero, subject to your lender's process and any amount due.

The loan can then be closed once the lender completes the formalities.

Remember to collect your original property documents and a no-dues certificate.

Does prepayment affect my tax benefits?

It can.

Lower future interest payments may reduce the amount of home-loan interest you can claim as a tax deduction.

Your actual tax treatment depends on your tax regime and situation.

Should I prepay or invest the money?

There is no single answer for everyone.

Prepayment can reduce future loan interest, while investing may offer returns but also carries risk.

Consider your loan rate, investment options, taxes, emergency savings and financial goals before deciding.
