What the estimate tells you
Two loans can have similar monthly payments but very different total interest costs. Compare the EMI, total repayment, interest share, tenure and lender fees together before deciding.
Shorter tenure
Higher EMI, usually lower total interest
Longer tenure
Lower EMI, usually higher total interest
Lower rate
Reduces both EMI and total interest

Frequently asked questions
EMI means Equated Monthly Instalment. It is the fixed monthly payment typically used to repay a reducing-balance loan over an agreed tenure.
EMI is calculated using loan principal, monthly interest rate and number of monthly instalments. A zero-interest loan is simply principal divided by months.
Usually yes, but a longer tenure can increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
No. The calculator estimates principal-and-interest repayment only. Lender fees, insurance, taxes, rate changes and prepayments can change the actual cost.
