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 Lakh loan from HDFC Bank for a period of 4 years, you pay the lowest EMI of Rs. 2,187. However, you pay an interest of Rs. 31,220 on a Rs. 1 Lakh loan.
In contrast, if you take a Rs. 1 Lakh loan from HDFC Bank at the lowest loan rate for a period of 2 years, you pay a higher EMI of Rs. 4,672 and pay an interest of only Rs. 12,128 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.

Personal loan EMI calculator HDFC Bank – How it works?

• HDFC Bank personal loan calculator calculates EMI considering a combination of loan amount, interest rate and loan tenure.
• HDFC Bank EMI calculator considers “reducing balance basis” and assumes that payment of EMI is made in arrears (means interest is charged for the month preceding the EMI payment date) and not in advance.

In case you prepay your personal loan, the outstanding balance on your personal loan reduces. HDFC Bank gives you two options:

• Reduce your loan tenure and keep EMI on your personal loan unchanged: This option allows you to close your loan earlier and save the interest outgo associated with the remaining tenure. 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.
