How to Use an EMI Calculator:

The easiest way to find out whether you will be able to afford a home loan or not, is to use an EMI Calculator . An Equated Monthly Instalments Calculator helps you arrive at the approximate EMIs for your loan amount. You can also determine what interest rate, loan tenure and monthly repayment amount works the best for you.

It also gives you the option of setting target pre-payment amounts in order to reduce the overall loan burden. Before using the EMI Calculator, check SBI Home Loan interest rates, fees and charges, and various SBI Housing Finance Schemes available with the bank at BankBazaar.

Example:

Let us input some figures in the EMI Calculator and see what results it shows.

Loan amount: Rs. 50 lakh

Tenure: 30 years

Interest rate: 9.4%

Processing Fee: 0.35%

Would you like to make pre-payments? No

Result: Your Monthly Loan EMI – Rs.41,678; Total Interest Due – Rs.1,00,04,222; Total Amount Payable – Rs.1,50,21,722

Let us modify this slightly by adding pre-payments but keeping the other numbers.

Would you like to make pre-payments? Yes.

Pre-payment frequency: Once in a year

Pre-payment starts in: 60 months (5 years)

Pre-payment amount: Rs. 50,000

Pre-payment fee: NIL

Pre-payment applies to: Sum of all pre-payments

Result: Your Monthly Loan EMI – Rs.41,678; Total Interest Due – Rs.75,03,474; Total Amount Payable – Rs.1,25,20,974

Here you can see the difference a pre-payment of Rs. 9.5 lakh in 25 years makes, to the total amount payable to the bank at the end of 30 years – more than Rs. 25 lakh! You can modify the interest rate, tenure, and loan amount this way to figure out how much loan you can afford to take at your income.

SBI Home Loan EMI Calculator FAQ

1. Do I use the same EMI calculator for all banks?

   Yes. The EMI Calculator is a common tool that is not tied with any particular bank or financial institution. The important thing is that you must know the interest rate and processing charge of the bank/s that you are considering for home loans.

2. Does SBI bank have an EMI calculator?

   Yes. SBI has its own EMI calculator too, but it does not allow to calculate and add in the processing fees or pre-payments.

3. How accurate is an EMI calculator?

   You have to keep in mind that an EMI calculator estimates your loan amortization details based on the data you input through it. The banks may have other hidden charges that might add into the loan amount. In addition, if yours is a floating home loan, then the interest rate changes every year based on the MCLR or Base Rate change. Even fixed-rate loans are fixed only for 2-5 years and then reverts to floating rate. Even a slight change in interest rate will make a difference to the total loan amount you repay the bank, because of the longer duration of the loan. These variables limit the accuracy of an EMI calculator.
