How it's calculated
The formula
For each offer, EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1) and total interest = EMI × n − P, where r is the monthly rate and n the number of months. The saving is the difference in total interest.
Assumptions
- Same loan amount and tenure for both offers.
- Fixed (reducing-balance) rates; no fees, insurance or prepayment modelled.
- Compare the all-in cost in practice, not just the rate.

Real-world scenarios
See exactly how the numbers play out in the situations people actually face — so there are no surprises before you commit.
0.5% lower on a ₹40 lakh, 20-year loan
On a ₹40 lakh home loan over 20 years, dropping the rate from 9% to 8.5% trims the EMI by around ₹1,300 a month and saves roughly ₹3–4 lakh in total interest. A rate gap that looks tiny on paper compounds into lakhs over a long tenure.
Compare the all-in cost, not just the rate
A headline-low rate can hide processing fees, mandatory insurance bundling or stiff prepayment penalties. A slightly higher rate with zero fees and free prepayment is sometimes cheaper overall — always weigh the total cost of borrowing, not the advertised number.
Why small gaps matter more on big loans
The longer the tenure and the larger the amount, the more a fraction of a percent is worth. On a ₹1 crore, 25-year loan, even 0.25% can mean several lakh — so it is worth negotiating hard or switching lenders for what seems like a rounding error.

Frequently asked questions
The details worth knowing before you rely on these numbers.
How do I compare two loan offers?
Keep the loan amount and tenure the same and compare the EMI and total interest at each rate. This calculator does exactly that and shows the rupee difference, so you can see the true cost gap.
How much does a 0.5% lower rate save?
On a ₹40 lakh, 20-year home loan, dropping the rate by 0.5% can save roughly ₹3–4 lakh in total interest. Over long tenures, even small rate differences compound into large amounts.
Should I always pick the lowest rate?
Not necessarily. Compare the all-in cost — processing fees, mandatory insurance, prepayment flexibility and service quality. A slightly higher rate with no fees and free prepayment can sometimes be cheaper overall.
Does the EMI change with the rate?
Yes. For the same amount and tenure, a higher interest rate means a higher EMI and far more total interest paid over the life of the loan.
What is APR, and why compare on a reducing-balance basis?
Always compare offers on a reducing-balance (APR) basis, where interest is charged only on the outstanding balance. A "flat" rate is charged on the full original amount for the whole tenure, so a headline 9% flat rate can actually cost like 16% or more on reducing balance. Banks quote home and car loans on reducing balance; some dealers and NBFCs quote flat — convert both to the same basis before you decide.
Is a lower EMI always the better loan?
Not on its own. A lower EMI usually just means a longer tenure, which increases the total interest you pay. Compare the total amount payable over the full loan, not only the monthly outgo — a higher EMI over a shorter term is often far cheaper overall.
Should I compare a fixed-rate and a floating-rate offer?
You can, but weigh the trade-off rather than only the number. Floating rates (linked to the RBI repo rate or a lender’s EBLR) are usually lower and move with the market; fixed rates cost a little more but keep your EMI predictable. For a fair comparison, also note the reset frequency and any switch fees, not just today’s rate.
