How to Calculate Interest on Home Loan?
- An error-free and easy way to calculate home loan interest and EMIs on a home loan is by the Kotak Home Loan EMI Calculator. Just enter the amount you want to borrow, the tenure you want, and the rate of interest you prefer.
- To calculate the interest on a home loan, you can use the EMI formula-
EMI=P * r * (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where,
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Loan tenure in months
For example,
For a home loan of Rs. 50,00,000 at an annual interest rate of 8.6% for 20 years (240 months). Now using the above EMI formula, EMI=P * r * (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
EMI≈ Rs. 43,867
Thus, your monthly EMI would be approximately Rs. 43,867. This formula helps you understand your monthly payments clearly .
