Q3: How can I reduce my total interest payment?
A: Making prepayments, choosing a shorter tenure, or negotiating a lower interest rate can significantly reduce your total interest burden.
Q4: Is this calculation accurate for HDFC home loans?
A: Yes, this formula provides an accurate calculation for HDFC's fixed-rate home loans where the EMI remains constant throughout the loan period.
Q5: What factors affect my total interest payment?
