A bank offers you a home loan of ₹50 lakhs at 8.5% interest for 20 years. What is the monthly EMI? How much total interest will you pay over the full tenure? These are the numbers you need before signing anything — and the Loan Calculator gives them to you instantly.

What the Loan Calculator Shows You

Enter three values — loan amount, annual interest rate, and tenure in months or years. You instantly get:

  • Monthly EMI — the fixed amount you pay every month
  • Total interest payable — the total interest cost over the full loan period
  • Total amount payable — principal plus total interest

These three numbers together tell you the full cost of a loan — not just the monthly payment.

How to Use the Loan Calculator

  1. Go to rohansurve.in/free-tools/loan-calculator
  2. Enter the loan amount
  3. Enter the annual interest rate
  4. Enter the loan tenure in months or years
  5. Get EMI, total interest, and total payable instantly

How EMI Is Calculated

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment. The formula is:

EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N - 1]

Where:

  • P = Principal loan amount
  • R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
  • N = Number of monthly instalments

The formula looks complex but the calculator handles it automatically. You just need the three input values.

Why Total Interest Matters More Than EMI

Most people focus on the monthly EMI — but the total interest number is often more revealing.

Example — ₹50 lakh home loan at 8.5% for 20 years:

  • Monthly EMI: approximately ₹43,500
  • Total interest paid: approximately ₹54.4 lakhs
  • Total amount paid: approximately ₹1.04 crores

You borrowed ₹50 lakhs and paid back over ₹1 crore. That's the real cost of a 20-year loan at 8.5%. Seeing this number upfront helps you decide whether to increase the down payment, choose a shorter tenure, or compare lenders.

Comparing Loan Scenarios

The calculator is most useful when you run multiple scenarios:

  • Shorter tenure — higher EMI, significantly lower total interest
  • Larger down payment — lower principal, lower EMI, lower total interest
  • Lower interest rate — even 0.5% difference over 20 years saves lakhs

Run all three calculations here before negotiating with your bank or lender.

Types of Loans You Can Calculate

The same EMI formula applies to all reducing-balance loans:

  • Home loans — typically 8–9.5% for 10–30 years
  • Car loans — typically 8.5–12% for 3–7 years
  • Personal loans — typically 11–18% for 1–5 years
  • Education loans — typically 8–12% for 5–15 years
  • Business loans — varies widely by lender and type

Know the Full Cost Before You Borrow

A low EMI can hide a very high total cost. The Loan Calculator shows you both — monthly payment and total interest — so you see the complete picture before committing to any loan.
