DBS Home Loan EMI

• Home Loan EMI (or equated monthly instalment) is a fixed amount of money paid by you to DBS Bank against the loan taken. This is towards repayment of your loan to the bank. Every month, it is due on a fixed day of the month till your loan is fully paid back.
• With DBS Bank offering Home Loans with loan tenure upto 20 years, the loan EMI can be as low as Rs. 909 per lakh, to make it more affordable and convenient to meet your needs. Lowest Rate of interest offered by DBS Bank on Home Loan is 9.15%.

EMI for different Home Loan amounts and tenures @ 9.15% interest rate

	Loan Tenure
Loan Amount (Rs.)	10 years	15 years	20 years
2,500,000	31,872	25,580	22,735
5,000,000	63,745	51,160	45,470
7,500,000	95,617	76,741	68,205
10,000,000	1.27 Lakh	1.02 Lakh	90,940

• As you can see in the above table, for various loan amounts taken at the lowest rate of interest, EMI differs by loan tenure at 15, 20 and 30 years. Your EMI is higher when you take loan for a shorter tenure of 15 years and it is lower when you apply for a higher tenure of 30 years.
• Your EMI consists of both interest payment and principal repayment. Though the EMI amount will remain constant, every month the proportion of interest payment and principal repaid within each EMI is different. With every EMI, the proportion of principal repayment in EMI keeps increasing and the interest component in EMI keeps reducing.

Home Loan EMI for Rs. 1 Lakh loan amount at lowest 9.15% interest rate offered by DBS Bank for different tenures

	5 years	10 years	15 years	20 years
DBS Bank EMI for a loan amount Rs. 1 lakh at 9.15%	2,083	1,275	1,023	909
Total amount you pay back to the bank including principal and interest	1.25 Lakh	1.53 Lakh	1.84 Lakh	2.18 Lakh
Interest you have to pay over loan tenure	24,980	53,000	84,140	1.18 Lakh

The above table shows the longer your loan tenure, lower is the EMI you pay on the loan. However, your total interest outgo is significantly higher in a long tenure loan. In the above example, if you take a Rs. 1 Lakh loan for a period of 30 years, you pay the lowest EMI of Rs. 909 . However, you pay an interest of Rs. 1.18 Lakh on a Rs. 1 Lakh loan.
In contrast, if you take a Rs. 1 Lakh loan from DBS Bank at the lowest loan rate offered for a period of 15 years, you pay a higher home loan EMI of Rs. 2,083 and pay an interest of only Rs. 24,980 which is less than half of what you paid in a 30 year loan. Hence, it is advisable to choose your loan tenure wisely as longer tenure means high interest expenses.

DBS Home Loan Interest Rate Calculator

Typically, Home Loan EMIs constitute as large proportion of a household’s monthly expenditure to pay for a long period. Being a long tenure loan, the total interest you pay on a housing loan for 20 years can be more than the original loan amount you have borrowed from the bank. DBS Home Loan Interest Rate Calculator can help you calcuate the interest rate you are eligible for and also, the total interest you will pay during the loan duration. Some of factors that are used for interest rate calculation are:

• Occupation of the borrowers: Banks charge slightly higher interest rate on home loans for self employed as compared to that on loans for salaried borrowers.
• Amount of the Loan: DBS Bank offers loan of up to Rs. 25 Lakh at 9.15% and loans of above Rs. 25 Lakh at rates ranging from 9.15% to 9.30%.
• Type of loan opted for: The bank also offers different rates on its various loan schemes such as fixed rate home loan, floating rate home loan and home loan with overdraft facility etc.
• Existing bank customers: ICICI Bank may also offer lower interest to its existing bank account holders to maintain its relationship.

Tips to decide the right amount of EMI

• Ascertain the amount you need to borrow: It is important that before approaching a bank for loan, you need to estimate the amount of loan you need to borrow. The amount of loan you need to borrow is a function of the value of the property and available funds with you. Remember house loan is a long term loan, and hence it is advisable to minimise your loan amount to the extent possible. Limit your loan amount to the balance funds you need to fund the property after accounting for your own available funds. Also, based on the EMI you can service, try to opt for lowest tenure of loans as long tenure loans result in huge interest outgo.
• Review your current obligations: Before, taking a loan it is advisable to do an evaluation of your current monthly expenses including any EMI obligations that you have on your current loans. The assessment will help you to estimate the amount of EMI you can pay comfortably after taking into account other obligations. Once you arrive at the EMI you can service, you can also decide on the right loan tenure.
  
  • Calculate your DBS Bank home loan eligibility: Your home loan eligibility is a function of value of the property and assessment of your repayment capacity based on your monthly income. DBS Bank provides a LTV upto 80% and expects the borrower to fund the remaining value of property by own money. For example, at its lowest LTV 80 %, DBS Bank would expect its borrowers to provide margin money of 20%. In case this margin payment is higher than your available funds as estimated by you, you might need to look for higher LTV loans, which may carry higher interest rates and hence, will result in higher EMIs.
  • DBS Bank will also estimate your Fixed Income to Obligations Ratio to ascertain the maximum EMI you can service based on your current income and other monthly expenses. The bank applies a certain ratio to your income to estimate your monthly expenses and then adds your other EMI obligations to calculate your fixed obligations. The proportion of fixed income to your calculated fixed obligations gives your FOIR. DBS Bank lends up to a maximum FOIR of 0.65 . Based on the FOIR, the bank will also estimate the maximum amount of EMI you can service as a borrower. DBS Bank's assessment may be different from your own assessment. Any differences in assessment may require you to readjust your loan amount requirement. You may also consider paying back other running short term loans to improve your eligibility.

Will the DBS home loan EMI remain constant or change in future? What happens in case of increase or decrease in interest rate?

• Typically, the home loan EMI remains unchanged unless the customer requests for a change and the same is approved by DBS Bank subject to its eligibility conditions (note that nominal charges may apply for effecting a customer initiated change in EMI)
• In case the floating rate of interest on your home loan increases, DBS Bank will typically keep the EMI constant but increase the loan tenure. So, you will pay the same EMI but for a longer duration. In case the interest rates increase to an extent that the revised loan tenure is more than the maximum permissible by DBS Bank, the bank may increase your EMI amount.
• For partly disbursed loans availed under tranched EMI scheme, your loan EMI will increase with each disbursement.

Will home loan EMI change in case of prepayment?

• DBS Bank allows prepayment at nil charges or penalty in case of floating rate home loans.
• When you make a prepayment, the outstanding balance of principal amount on your home loan reduces. In this case, you may choose to either keep the EMI the same and reduce the loan tenure (that is paying off the loan faster) or reduce the EMI and keep the loan tenure the same (that is paying lesser amount every month). It is beneficial to keep the EMI constant and reduce the loan tenure as you pay less interest to the bank in this option.

Why should I calculate DBS Bank loan EMI before taking a loan?
