HDFC Home Loan EMI Calculator
HDFC Home Loan EMI Calculator helps users know the approximate value of the loan installments that they need to pay monthly for servicing their HDFC home loans. Instead of using a bank-specific loan EMI calculator, you can use the Paisabazaar home loan EMI calculator to calculate your home loan EMI for free. It is easy to use and provides quick results on the basis of a few key home loan parameters such as loan amount, interest rate and tenure. You can try multiple combinations of these loan parameters to get at the most suitable EMI for yourself.
HDFC Home Loan EMI Calculation
The table below shows HDFC home loan EMI calculation for different interest rates, loan amounts and loan tenures:
| Loan Amount | Interest Rate | EMIs as per Different Loan Tenures | ||
| 15 years | 20 years | 30 years | ||
| Rs. 30 lakh | 8.00% | Rs. 39,155 | Rs. 33,832 | Rs. 29,770 |
| Rs. 60 lakh | 8.50% | Rs. 57,860 | Rs. 50,748 | Rs. 44,655 |
| Rs. 90 lakh | 8.75% | Rs. 77,147 | Rs. 67,664 | Rs. 59,540 |
| Rs. 1 crore | 9.00% | Rs. 96,433 | Rs. 84,580 | Rs. 74,425 |
- From the table above, it is evident that the home loan EMIs increase with the increase in the loan amount as well as home loan interest rates. If you wish to lower your home loan EMIs, one of the many ways is to borrow less. Reduction in the loan amount will bring down your home loan EMIs and also help you get a home loan at a lower rate. Improving your credit score also helps in getting home loan at a lower rate of interest.
- Another point to notice in the above table is that the home loan EMIs decrease as the loan tenure increases. While choosing longer tenure reduces your monthly liability but it also increases your total interest payout. Hence, choose your home loan tenure wisely.
