How does Fullerton Grihashakti Home Loan EMI Calculator work?

- loan tenure
Enter the home loan amount you are considering borrowing and the applicable rate of interest into the relevant field. Using the slider, adjust the loan tenure and the calculator will automatically reflect the estimated EMI for the loan tenure.

How is Home Loan EMI Calculated?
EMI stands for equated monthly instalment is a systematic approach to repay the loan by the borrower to the lender in equal and fixed instalments by the end of the loan tenure.
An EMI basically consists of two components- the principal amount and interest due on the outstanding loan amount.
Compared to other categories of loan, the housing loan has a maximum tenure of up to 30 years, and the EMI can be planned according to your repayment capability.
The home loan EMI is calculated using the following formula:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R) ^N]/[(1+R) ^N-1]
P=Principal amount
N=Loan tenure in months
R=Monthly Interest rates
The rate of Interest (R) on your loan is calculated per month
All online calculators use the above home loan EMI calculator formula to calculate EMI. By adjusting the rate of interest and loan tenure, you can check the EMI under different scenarios and tenure instantly.
For example, a house loan with a maximum tenure of 30 years will have a lower EMI payment compared to loan tenure of 15 years. Although the EMI of a home loan with longer tenure is lower, the overall cost is higher because of the higher interest outflow.

What is the Home Loan Amortization Schedule?
While the EMI during the loan tenure remains uniform, the constitution of EMI changes every passing month with each EMI payment.
For instance, at the starting of home loan tenure, the interest component constitutes the major portion of the EMI due to higher interest outstanding. As tenor progresses, the constitution of interest components continue to decline with every EMI payment, thereby increasing the share of the principal component.
This is where the amortization schedule provides the accurate break-up of principal and interest payout in each EMI with their respective balances across the tenor. In short, it provides a roadmap towards the repayment of the home loan and different milestones.
The table helps you in effective tax planning and claim deduction on both the home loan principal and interest repayment under different sections of the Income Tax Act.
When does Home Loan EMI Start and Become Due?
In general practice, the home loan EMI starts from the following month of the loan disbursal and the EMI is due on a fixed date each month, which is notified at the time of disbursal or approval.
In the case of a moratorium on home loan EMI payment is agreed upon, it would start after the predefined period. However, the interest will continue to get added to your home loan during the period of the moratorium.
Can I Prepay My Home Loan?
Yes, you can part-prepay your outstanding home loan amount, which can be several times your home loan EMI. The prepayment will result in a reduction in the outstanding home loan amount, thereby reducing your net interest expenses.
What are the Factors That Can Affect Home Loan EMI?
Here are the main factors affecting home loan EMI. Please note that this list is a basic one, and depending on the lender’s policy as well as the agreed upon terms, additional documents may be requested.
- Loan Amount:The principal amount plays a large part in your EMI amount. Higher the loan amount borrowed, higher the EMI. Thus, it is advisable to borrow the exact amount you need.
- Interest rate: A higher interest rate will lead to a higher EMI amount
- Tenure: A longer tenure will allow a smaller EMI amount, but the total interest outgo over the tenure of the loan may be much higher.
- Extra charges: Depending on the terms agreed upon with your lender, additional factors such as insurance, service fees, etc. may be added to your EMI amount.
- Prepayment terms: Sometimes, lenders may allow salaried borrowers whose monthly income increases over the tenure of the loan, to pay a higher EMI amount.
- Extra benefits (as applicable): Benefits (like the PMAY interest subsidy) that may be authorized some months after application may be provided to borrowers in the form of a reduced EMI.
