Buying a home is a big step, one that often requires financial support in the form of a home loan. If you are planning to buy a house and needs funds of Rs. 20 lakh, taking a loan to finance it is likely a part of the process. However, while dreaming of your new home, you may find yourself asking an important question: What will the EMI for a Rs. 20 lakh home loan look like?
Understanding how your EMI is calculated is crucial, as it directly impacts your monthly finances. The EMI (equated monthly instalments) is the fixed amount you need to pay every month to repay the loan. The amount depends on several factors: the total loan amount, the interest rate charged by the lender, and the duration (tenure) of the loan. Knowing the EMI beforehand will give you a clear idea of your monthly commitments and help in budgeting your finances better.
Let us break down how you can calculate the EMI for a Rs. 20 lakh home loan at an interest rate of 8.0% p.a. across different tenures, so you can make an informed decision.
Key factors influencing home loan EMI
Before we jump into the calculations, let us take a quick look at the key factors that influence your EMI:
- Loan amount: This is the principal loan amount. For this example, it is Rs. 20 lakh.
- Interest rate: The rate charged by the lender for borrowing the money. In this case, we will assume an interest rate of 8.0% p.a.
- CIBIL Score: A score of 725 is considered good and can help you get a competitive interest rate.
- Tenure: The loan repayment period, which can range up to 32 years years.
The EMI is essentially the monthly instalments that covers both the interest and the principal. As you pay off the loan, the amount going toward the principal increases, while the interest portion decreases. The longer the loan tenure, the smaller the monthly EMI, but the total interest paid will be higher.
Now, let us take a look at the EMI for Rs. 20 lakh over various tenures for an interest rate of 8%.
