Loan Calculators
Tools for planning and comparing borrowing, from what a lender might sanction to what a lump sum prepayment would save on a loan you already have.
Which loan calculators should you use?
These calculators cover the whole life of a loan: working out what you might be sanctioned, comparing what it will cost, and seeing what changes if you pay some of it back early.
Before you apply, Loan Eligibility estimates the amount a lender might sanction on your income after existing EMIs. When you have a quote, Loan Calculator compares tenures side by side, and Loan Interest isolates what the borrowing actually costs.
For a specific loan type, go straight to the page for it: home loan, car loan, personal loan, two-wheeler loan, education loan or gold loan. Each carries the assumptions that matter for that product - loan-to-value caps on vehicles, moratorium interest on education loans, bullet repayment structures on gold.
Two comparisons are worth running before you sign anything. Flat vs Reducing Rate shows why a flat 10% is not a 10% loan, and Loan Prepayment shows what a lump sum would save you later.
Guides for this
The questions these calculators cannot answer on their own.
- What Happens If You Prepay a Loan?What a lump-sum prepayment does to an Indian loan, the choice between cutting the tenure and cutting the EMI, and when it is worth doing at all.
- How Much Loan Can You Get on Your Salary?How lenders turn your income into a loan amount, what FOIR means, and what else they check before sanctioning anything.
- What Is FOIR, and Why Does It Decide Your Loan?FOIR is the single ratio that caps how much Indian lenders will sanction. What counts towards it, what does not, and how to move it.
- Short vs Long Loan Tenure: What It Really CostsA longer tenure lowers the EMI and raises the total by far more than most people expect. The actual numbers, and when the longer term is still right.
