1. What is HDFC Home Loan EMI?

The HDFC Home Loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to HDFC Bank towards repaying their home loan. It includes both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the EMI Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12, in decimal)
• \( N \) — Loan tenure in months
• \( EMI \) — Equated monthly installment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would pay off the loan over its term with interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers plan their finances, understand affordability, and compare different loan options before committing to a home loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (e.g., 8.60), and loan tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.
