1. What is HDFC Home Loan EMI?

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

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment needed to fully repay the loan over the specified tenure, accounting for compound interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment, plan their budget, and compare different loan options before applying through HDFC Netbanking.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (e.g., 8.60%), and loan tenure in months. The calculator will show EMI, total payment, and total interest.
