A home loan EMI is not a flat divide of principal by months. Each instalment first pays interest on what you still owe; the rest reduces principal. That is why the first years feel “interest heavy” even when you never miss a payment.
On the home loan EMI calculator, ₹25 lakh at 7.75% for 30 years produces about ₹17,910 EMI. Over 360 months you repay far more than ₹25 lakh. Shorten tenure to 20 years and EMI rises while lifetime interest falls. Those two outputs must be read together.
Type the amount you will actually borrow. Construction-stage pre-EMI is interest on disbursed tranches only; this guide does not replace a tranche schedule. For leftover income vs EMI use eligibility and affordability.
Using property price as P. Ignoring FOIR. Comparing only EMI across banks when fees differ. Assuming today’s floating rate lasts 30 years.
