How to bring the EMI down
- Longer tenure: going from 20 to 25 years at 8.5% lowers the EMI to ₹40,261, but adds ₹16,64,527 of interest.
- Bigger down payment: every ₹1 lakh you do not borrow cuts about ₹868 from the EMI.
- Prepay early: interest is front-loaded, so a prepayment in the first five years saves the most. Use the “Prepayment” option above.
