Cut your tenure
Pay this much extra (on top of your regular EMI) to close the loan sooner. The yearly column is a single lump-sum at the end of each loan-year — slightly different math from monthly × 12.

Notes & references
EMI formula
EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1)where P is principal, r is monthly interest rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100), n is tenure in months.
How the simulation works
- We walk the loan month by month. Each month: interest accrues on the opening balance, the EMI's principal portion shaves the balance, then any prepayments scheduled in that month are applied.
- Prepayment strategy decides what happens after a prepayment: either the EMI stays put and the loan closes earlier (Reduce tenure), or the EMI is recomputed for the remaining tenure (Reduce EMI).
- Rate-change strategy decides what happens when the rate revises: either the tenure stays put and the EMI is recomputed (Keep tenure), or the EMI stays put and the tenure naturally adjusts (Keep EMI).
Cut-tenure planner
- For each delta (1 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 years) the planner does a binary search over the extra payment that makes the loan close at the target tenure.
- The Per month column is a uniform addition every month. The Or once a year column is a single lump-sum at the end of each loan-year — different math from "per month × 12" because it compounds differently.

Frequently asked questions
How is EMI calculated?
EMI uses the standard reducing-balance formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of monthly instalments. Each payment covers that month’s interest first, and the rest reduces the principal — this calculator shows the full month-by-month breakup.
How much do prepayments actually save?
A prepayment goes straight to principal, so it removes all the future interest that principal would have accrued — often far more than the prepaid amount, especially early in the loan. Add one-time or recurring prepayments here and the schedule shows the interest saved and how many months you shave off.
Should I reduce the EMI or the tenure when I prepay?
Reducing the tenure (keeping the EMI the same) saves the most interest, because you stay at a higher payment and clear the loan faster. Reducing the EMI lowers your monthly outgo but saves less overall. The calculator lets you model both.
Can it handle interest-rate changes during the loan?
Yes. Floating-rate loans reset over time — add rate-change events and the schedule recomputes the EMI or tenure from that month onward, so the projection matches a real floating-rate loan.
Does it work for home, car and personal loans? Is my data saved?
Yes — it works for any amortising loan (home, car, personal). Everything runs in your browser with no upload, and your inputs persist in localStorage so they are still there when you return.
