Prepayment Adjustment: When a prepayment is made, the calculator recalculates the EMI based on the reduced principal amount and remaining loan term.
Details: Prepayments can significantly reduce the total interest paid and shorten the loan tenure. Strategic prepayment planning helps borrowers save money and become debt-free faster.
Tips: Enter the principal amount in ₹, annual interest rate in %, loan term in years. For prepayment, specify the amount and the month when you plan to make the prepayment. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How does prepayment affect my EMI?
A: Prepayment reduces the principal amount, which can either reduce your EMI for the remaining tenure or shorten your loan term with the same EMI.
Q2: Are there any prepayment charges?
A: Some lenders charge prepayment penalties, especially for fixed-rate loans. Check with your bank about their prepayment policies.
Q3: When is the best time to make a prepayment?
A: Earlier prepayments save more interest as you reduce the principal before more interest accrues. However, consider any penalties and your financial situation.
Q4: Can I make multiple prepayments?
A: Most lenders allow multiple prepayments, but there may be limits or charges. Consult your loan agreement for specific terms.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: This calculator provides a close estimate. Actual EMI may vary slightly due to rounding methods used by different banks.
