Each 0.5% on the rate moves this EMI by about ₹2,393 a month. Between 7.5% and 12% the gap is ₹22,162 a month, or ₹53,18,873 of extra interest over 20 years, which is why a better credit score or a balance transfer to a lower rate is worth chasing.

Most Indian home loans are floating-rate and linked to an external benchmark such as the RBI repo rate, so the rate can change during the loan. When it does, banks usually keep the EMI and change the tenure; use the table above to see the effect of a rate change.

Year-by-year repayment at 8.5%

In year 1 you pay ₹6,31,774 of interest and only ₹1,49,267 of principal: early EMIs mostly cover interest because it is charged on the outstanding balance. Half the loan is repaid by the end of year 14.

Salary needed for a ₹75 lakh home loan for 20 years

Lenders check your FOIR (fixed obligations to income ratio): all your EMIs, including this one, as a share of your net monthly income. A common rule of thumb is a ceiling of about 40% to 50%; the exact limit depends on the lender, your income level and credit score.

Take-home pay at 50% FOIR₹1,30,173 a month
Take-home pay at 40% FOIR₹1,62,717 a month

These assume no other EMIs at 8.5%. An existing car or personal loan EMI adds to the total, so it raises the income you need by about twice that EMI at 50% FOIR. A co-applicant’s income can be added on joint loans.

What a ₹7,50,000 prepayment does

Say you prepay ₹7,50,000 (10% of the loan) once, straight after the 12th EMI, and keep paying the same ₹65,087 EMI. The extra money goes entirely to principal, so every later EMI carries less interest.

Interest saved₹24,05,536
Loan ends4 years early (192 EMIs instead of 240)
Total interest₹57,15,282 instead of ₹81,20,818

RBI rules do not allow prepayment or foreclosure charges on floating-rate loans taken by individuals for non-business purposes. Fixed-rate loans, including most personal loans, can carry a prepayment fee, so check your loan agreement first.

A longer tenure lowers the EMI but raises the total interest. Pick the shortest tenure whose EMI fits comfortably, then prepay when you can.
