Plan Your Home Loan End-to-End

Intermediate20 min5 steps

A complete 5-step workflow to calculate affordability, EMI, tax savings, and compare rent vs buy before taking a home loan.

1

Check if renting or buying makes sense

Use the Rent vs Buy calculator to compare the true cost of owning vs renting in your city over a 10-year horizon.

2

Calculate your maximum loan eligibility

Banks typically lend up to 80% of property value and cap EMI at 40–50% of your net monthly income.

3

Run your EMI and amortisation schedule

Enter principal, rate, and tenure to see your exact monthly outgo and how much goes toward interest vs principal each year.

4

Calculate income tax savings

Section 80C (up to ₹1.5L on principal) and Section 24 (up to ₹2L on interest) can significantly reduce your tax outgo.

5

Plan prepayment strategy

Use the EMI calculator's prepayment feature to see how partial payments early in the tenure dramatically reduce total interest.
