Personal loan EMI calculator at different tenures

Personal Loan EMI for different loan amounts and tenures @ 10.99% interest rate

• From the above table, it can be interpreted that for various loan amounts taken at the lowest interest rate, EMI differs for loans taken at different tenures. Your EMI is higher when you take a loan for a shorter tenure of 2 years and is higher for a longer tenure loan of 4 years.
• Each EMI includes a component of interest payment and principal repayment. Even as EMIs remain constant, every month there is a change in proportion of interest component and principal repaid. With every EMI payment, the proportion of principal repayment in EMI keeps increasing and the interest component keeps reducing.

The above table shows that EMI paid on the loan will be lower for a loan taken for a longer tenure. However, your total interest outgo is significantly higher in a long tenure loan. In the above example, if you take a Rs. 1,00,000 loan from HDFC Bank for a period of 4 years, you pay the lowest EMI of Rs. 2,174. However, you pay an interest of Rs. 30,440 on a Rs. 1,00,000 loan.
In contrast, if you take a Rs. 1,00,000 loan from HDFC Bank at the lowest loan rate for a period of 2 years, you pay a higher EMI of Rs. 4,660 and pay an interest of only Rs. 11,840 which is less than half of what you pay for a 4 year loan. Hence, it is advisable to choose your loan tenure wisely as longer tenure means high interest expenses.

The multiplier depends on the bank’s internal categorization of your employer company based on its reputation, stability, size and growth in turnover.
  • FOIR based loan amount eligibility - HDFC Bank will also estimate your Fixed Income to Obligations Ratio (FOIR) to ascertain the maximum EMI you can service based on your current income and other monthly expenses.

Based on the FOIR, the bank will also estimate the maximum amount of EMI you can service as a borrower. HDFC 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.

This is suitable for borrowers who feel that they have adequate income to continue servicing the same level of EMIs.
• Reduce the amount of EMI and keep your loan tenure same: This option allows you to reduce your monthly EMI and hence, increases the availability of monthly surplus which you can deploy for other purposes. This is suitable for borrowers who anticipate higher monthly personal expenses and hence, would want to reduce their monthly EMI obligations.
