Planning a home loan from HDFC Bank? Use this calculator to see your monthly EMI, total interest, and complete amortization schedule — before you visit the branch. Enter the loan amount, the interest rate you have been quoted, and your preferred tenure to get the full picture instantly.
Home loans are secured loans — the property being purchased serves as collateral. They typically have longer tenures and lower rates than unsecured loans. EMI is calculated on the reducing balance method.
A home loan is a secured loan taken to purchase, construct, or renovate a residential property. The property itself serves as collateral. Because the loan is secured, home loans typically carry lower interest rates than unsecured personal loans and are available for longer tenures.
Home loans from banks like HDFC Bank are linked to an external benchmark — typically the RBI Repo Rate — so the interest rate can change over the loan tenure as the benchmark changes. Your EMI or tenure adjusts accordingly.
EMI is calculated using the reducing balance formula:
Interest in the early years makes up a larger share of each EMI. As the outstanding balance reduces, the principal share increases. This is why prepaying in the early years of a home loan has a disproportionately large impact on total interest savings.
Exact requirements vary. Always confirm with HDFC Bank directly before applying.
Home loan EMI uses the reducing balance formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / [(1+r)ⁿ − 1]. Enter the loan amount, the rate you are offered, and your tenure in the calculator above to get the exact monthly EMI and total interest.
Prepaying reduces your outstanding principal, which reduces the interest charged in subsequent months. The earlier in the tenure you prepay, the larger the impact — because interest forms a larger share of early EMIs. Use the calculator to see total interest at different tenures to understand the savings possible.
A shorter tenure means a higher monthly EMI but significantly less total interest paid. A longer tenure reduces monthly EMI but increases total cost. For example, on a ₹50 lakh loan, the difference in total interest between a 15-year and 25-year tenure can be substantial. Use the calculator with both tenures to compare.
LTV (Loan-to-Value) is the percentage of the property value the lender finances. If the LTV is 80%, you must arrange 20% as a down payment. RBI regulates maximum LTV ratios for home loans. The exact LTV offered depends on the loan amount and property type — always confirm directly with the lender.
