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.
