All you need to an EMI calculator, how it works & 3 benefits of using one.

EMI Calculators are a blessing for anyone planning to apply for a home loan. They provide near-accurate calculations that would otherwise take you a good amount of time and mental racking to arrive at and without which, your home loan application could be rejected or your repayment experience could turn into a difficult one. That’s why this article will explain what these calculators are, how to use them and 5 benefits of using one, in the hope that you’ll end up using one before you apply for a home loan.

So what is an EMI Calculator and how does it work?
It’s a simple online financial tool that provides you the entire break-up of your home loan repayment schedule. Right from the monthly EMI from the first to the last month of the repayment to the break-up of every EMI into principal prepayment amount and interest amount.

All you have to do is find one; they are easily available on the websites of lenders and home loan aggregators, then enter your loan variables such as the loan amount, interest rate and tenure. Upon hitting enter, algorithms are put to work and provide you the amortization table for your home loan.

Let’s now take a look at the benefits of using an EMI Calculator.

i) Helps to budget.
Using a calculator can help you create full-proof budgets and financial plans to repay your loan successfully. Since you know the EMI amount, you can figure out how to adjust your monthly income and obligation to cover the said amount.

ii) Helps you adjudge your affordability.
It’s a simple deduction if the EMI provided by the calculator is too higher, it means you cannot afford to borrow the loan amount you’re entered. If you apply for the given amount, either your application will be rejected or you will experience turbulent times when the repayment begins.

iii) Help borrow the right amount.
You can keep on reducing the loan amount you enter until the EMI amount calculated is something you can afford to set aside each month. This will help you borrow the right amount and ensure your loan application and repayment process sail through without any hassles.

In addition to an EMI Calculator, you should also use the service of an eligibility calculator. Again, this is a simple online tool that requires you only to provide some basic details such as your monthly salary, your monthly obligations, the interest rate and the tenure. Within seconds the calculator will provide you a ball-park amount your lender is most likely to provide you.

Armed with information about your repayment schedule and the eligibility for the loan, you can go into the application with confidence knowing that your loan will be approved and that you will be able to repay it easily! This is the kind of peace of mind using an EMI Calculator can provide you.

We hope this brief write-up has helped your understanding of these online tools and gets you to use one.


Good luck and all the best with your home loan!
