The calculator uses some basic loan details to show you the effect of a pre-payment right away. You need to adjust a few key details:
After you enter your details, the calculator shows how your loan will change. You can instantly understand how your monthly EMI, total interest payable, and total duration of repayment may get affected. This tool is ideal for borrowers who want to manage their home loan better.
Home Loan pre-payment means paying your entire outstanding loan before the end of the loan term. This is done as a one-time payment, in addition to your regular EMIs, to close the loan you owe.
Prepaying a home loan can significantly reduce the total interest you pay over the life of the loan. Borrowers usually choose prepayment when they have surplus funds and want to close the loan sooner and become debt-free.
Home loan part-payment means paying an additional amount towards your loan’s principal during the loan period, over and above your regular EMIs. This extra payment directly reduces your outstanding balance.
Even a small part payment can impact your loan by lowering future EMIs or shortening the tenure. Part-payments are often made during bonus periods or when surplus funds are available, allowing borrowers to change their repayment burden without altering the loan structure.

|---|---|---|
Meaning |
You pay the entire outstanding loan balance at once to close the loan account permanently. |
You pay a portion of the outstanding loan (e.g., a bonus or surplus cash) to reduce the principal. |
Aim |

To reduce the financial burden by either lowering the monthly EMI or shortening the loan duration. |

Your Choice: 1. Reduce Tenure: Keep EMI same, finish loan years earlier (saves maximum interest). 2. Reduce EMI: Keep tenure same, lower monthly outflow (good for cash flow management). |
Interest Savings |

A long-term Home Loan can be repaid faster by making regular part-payments in addition to your monthly EMIs. Each extra payment reduces the outstanding principal, thereby lowering the interest charged over time.

When considering home loan prepayment, factors like age and future cash flows should be considered.

However, the decision relies on your financial goals, how much money you need right now, and the terms of your current loan. Use the calculator to understand the impact before deciding.
