About home loans

What is a home loan?

A secured loan from a bank or NBFC to buy, build, or renovate a residential property. The property is mortgaged to the lender until the loan is repaid. Rates are usually lower than unsecured loans because of this collateral.

How this calculator works

It uses the standard reducing-balance EMI formula on the loan amount, annual rate, and tenure you enter. Processing fees, insurance, and lender charges are not included — treat the output as an estimate.

EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n − 1]

Example: ₹50 lakh at 8.5% for 20 years → EMI about ₹43,391, total interest about ₹54.1 lakh.

Tenure and prepayment

  • • Shorter tenure → higher EMI but less total interest
  • • Early EMIs are mostly interest; prepaying in the first few years saves more
  • • Floating-rate loans usually have no prepayment penalty; fixed-rate loans may

Tax benefits

  • • Section 80C: principal repayment up to ₹1.5 lakh/year (within overall 80C limit)
  • • Section 24(b): interest up to ₹2 lakh/year on self-occupied property
  • • Deductions apply from the year you get possession, not during construction

Before you apply

Compare offers from multiple lenders — processing fees and effective rates differ. Keep EMI within roughly 40% of take-home income after other expenses. Read the prepayment, foreclosure, and rate-reset clauses in the loan agreement.

Floating vs fixed rate

Most borrowers take floating rates linked to the repo rate or MCLR — EMI changes when the benchmark moves. Fixed-rate loans keep EMI steady but start higher and may charge for prepayment. Pick based on whether you need predictable cash flow or expect rates to fall.

Disclaimer: Figures are estimates. Confirm EMI, charges, and terms with your lender before signing. Tax benefits depend on your slab and eligibility under the Income Tax Act.

Questions & answers

How is home loan EMI calculated?
Reducing balance on the sanctioned amount, annual rate, and tenure in months. Stamp duty, registration, processing fee, and property insurance are extra. ₹50 lakh at 8.5% for 20 years is about ₹43,391/month.
Does prepayment reduce EMI or tenure?
Depends on what you ask the bank for. Most borrowers choose tenure reduction and keep EMI the same. Use the loan prepayment calculator on QList to see interest saved if you make extra principal payments.
Home loan tax benefit limits
Section 80C: principal up to ₹1.5 lakh/year (within overall 80C). Section 24(b): interest up to ₹2 lakh/year on self-occupied property. Deductions start from possession year, not during under-construction period.
