📘 About the Extra Monthly Payment Calculator
A small extra payment every month — ₹2,000 or ₹5,000 on top of the EMI — goes entirely to principal. Over the years that reduces interest every single month.
On a ₹30 lakh, 20-year loan at 8.5%, ₹5,000 extra a month closes the loan more than 6 years early and saves over ₹11 lakh in interest.

💡 Prepay or invest?
- Prepaying a loan gives a guaranteed, tax-free 'return' equal to its interest rate (8.5% here). An investment has to beat that after tax and risk.
- Keep an emergency fund of 3–6 months' expenses before prepaying.
- Old tax regime: home loan interest up to ₹2 lakh a year (Section 24(b)) and principal under Section 80C are deductible, which lowers the effective rate. The new regime gives no deduction for a self-occupied home.
- Floating-rate home loans to individuals carry no prepayment or foreclosure charge (RBI rules). Fixed-rate, personal and car loans often charge 2–5%.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Does paying extra every month really help?
Yes. Every extra rupee reduces the balance that interest is charged on. The earlier in the loan you start, the bigger the saving.
How do I pay extra every month?
Ask your bank for a part-prepayment option online, set up a higher EMI, or use an overdraft-linked home loan (such as a MaxGain-type account) that reduces interest on surplus balance.
Is there a charge for prepaying?
Not on floating-rate home loans to individuals. Fixed-rate, car and personal loans may charge a fee or limit part-payments — check your loan agreement.
