Prepaying cuts 30% of your total interest
₹5,000 a month on top of your EMI saves ₹12,98,954 and 62 EMIs. Every extra payment reduces the balance that interest is charged on for all the remaining months, so payments made early in the loan save the most.

Why prepaying your home loan saves so much

In the early years of a 20- or 30-year home loan, 70–80% of each EMI goes towards interest and only a small part reduces the principal. When you prepay, 100% of the extra amount comes straight off the outstanding principal.

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ [ (1 + r)ⁿ − 1 ]
P
Outstanding loan principal
r
Monthly rate = annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100
n
Remaining monthly instalments

Smart prepayment strategies

  • One extra EMI every year. Paying 13 EMIs instead of 12 each year cuts a 20-year, ₹40 lakh loan at 8.5% to under 17 years and saves over ₹8 lakh in interest.
  • Prepay early in the tenure. Prepayments made in the first 5 to 7 years save the most interest, because that is when the principal is largest.
Should I reduce my EMI or my tenure after a prepayment?
This calculator keeps your EMI unchanged and lets the tenure shrink, which saves the most interest. Most lenders also let you keep the tenure and lower the EMI instead, which helps cash flow but saves less.
Are there charges for prepaying?
Under RBI rules, lenders cannot charge prepayment penalties on floating-rate home loans taken by individuals. Fixed-rate loans may carry a fee, so check your loan agreement.
Should I prepay or invest the money instead?
It depends on your loan rate, the return you expect and how much you value being debt-free. Compare both paths with the prepay loan vs. invest in SIP calculator.
