Reality Check
You'll pay 108% of the principal amount in interest alone. Reducing tenure by 5 years can save lakhs.
How EMI is calculated
The standard EMI formula is: EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of months. Early EMIs are mostly interest; later EMIs are mostly principal. This is why prepaying early in the loan tenure saves the most.
Should you take a longer loan tenure?
Longer tenure means lower EMI but dramatically more total interest. A ₹50 lakh home loan at 8.5% costs ₹35 lakh in interest over 15 years, but ₹58 lakh over 25 years. Pick the shortest tenure your monthly budget can absorb without strain.
Home loan tax benefits
Under the old tax regime, home loan principal qualifies for Section 80C deduction (up to ₹1.5 lakh), and interest qualifies for Section 24(b) (up to ₹2 lakh for self-occupied property). These benefits don't apply under the new tax regime.
