Tips: Enter the principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term (in years or months). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What factors affect EMI amount?
A: EMI is primarily determined by three factors: loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. Higher loan amounts or interest rates increase EMI, while longer tenures reduce EMI.
Q2: Can EMI change during the loan period?
A: For fixed-rate loans, EMI remains constant. For floating-rate loans, EMI may change if interest rates fluctuate.
Q3: How does prepayment affect EMI?
A: Prepayment reduces the principal amount, which can either reduce your EMI or shorten your loan tenure, depending on the terms of your loan agreement.
Q4: Are there any hidden charges in EMI?
A: The basic EMI calculation includes only principal and interest. Additional charges like processing fees, insurance, or taxes are typically separate.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: This calculator provides a close approximation of your EMI. Actual EMI may vary slightly based on the specific terms and conditions of HDFC loans.
