About Prepayment / Foreclosure Calculator
Prepaying your loan — even partially — can save you lakhs in interest and significantly reduce your loan tenure. This calculator helps you visualise the exact benefit of any lump sum prepayment.
How Prepayment Works
When you make a partial prepayment, the extra amount goes directly toward reducing your outstanding principal. This means less interest accrues in future months, either reducing your EMI or shortening your tenure (most lenders default to shortening tenure).
Types of Prepayment
- Partial Prepayment: Pay a lump sum to reduce outstanding principal. EMI stays the same but tenure reduces.
- Full Foreclosure: Pay off the entire outstanding loan before tenure ends. Some lenders charge a foreclosure fee.
- EMI Increase: Pay a higher EMI each month. Effectively same as monthly micro-prepayments.
Prepayment Charges
- Home loans on floating rate: No prepayment charges (RBI rule).
- Car loans: Usually 3–5% of prepaid amount.
- Personal loans: Usually 2–5% of outstanding amount.
- Fixed rate loans: Lenders may charge 1–2% prepayment penalty.
Best Time to Prepay
- Early in the loan tenure — more of each EMI goes to interest, so prepayment saves more.
- When you receive a bonus, inheritance, or any lump sum income.
- Before the loan crosses 50% of its tenure for maximum benefit.
Loan Prepayment Calculator for Indian users
The Loan Prepayment Calculator helps you turn a financial question into a clear number before you apply for a product, invest money, file taxes or compare alternatives. Instead of relying on rough mental math, enter your actual values and review the result, cost, return or tax impact in a structured way.
This page is designed as a practical SEO and user landing page: the calculator comes first, followed by the formula, a worked example, comparison context, frequently asked questions and links to related MONEX MINT tools. That structure helps users finish the calculation and gives search engines enough context to understand the page beyond the widget.
For best results, run at least two scenarios. Use a conservative rate for planning, a realistic market or lender rate for comparison, and a stress case to see what happens if interest rates, returns, salary, taxes or inflation move against you.
How it's calculated
EMI = [P x r x (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1] Total Interest = EMI x n - P
- P — Principal loan amount
- r — Monthly interest rate, annual rate divided by 12 and 100
- n — Total number of monthly payments

Loan Prepayment Calculator planning checklist
| Step | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Inputs | Use realistic values, not rounded guesses | Small input changes can materially alter the final result |
| Rate | Confirm whether the rate is annual, monthly, flat, reducing or scheme-specific | Wrong rate type is the most common source of bad estimates |
| Tenure | Compare short and long periods | Longer horizons can reduce cash flow but increase total cost or uncertainty |
| Tax/fees | Include taxes, fees, charges or inflation where relevant | The net result matters more than the headline number |
| Next action | Save the result and compare with related calculators | A single number is useful; a comparison is decision-ready |
Tips and best practices
- Use current official rates or lender quotes where possible.
- Compare best case, base case and conservative case before acting.
- Do not judge a financial product only by EMI, maturity value or tax saved; look at total cost and risk.
- Recalculate whenever rates, salary, tax slabs or scheme rules change.
- Use the sitemap and calculator hub to move between related tools quickly.
