Home Loan EMI Calculator
A Home Loan EMI Calculator helps home buyers estimate their monthly cash outflow for purchasing a residential property. It also factors in tax benefits available to salaried taxpayers in India under Section 24(b) (interest deduction up to ₹2 Lakh p.a. for self-occupied property) and Section 80C (principal repayment up to ₹1.5 Lakh p.a. under Old Tax Regime).

How the Calculation Works
Monthly EMI is derived using standard reducing balance compounding. Annual Section 24(b) tax savings are estimated based on eligible interest payments up to ₹2,00,000 per financial year multiplied by your applicable income tax slab rate.

| Tenure | 20 Years |
| Emi | ₹43,391 |
| Total Interest | ₹54,13,879 |

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not factoring in property registration charges, GST on under-construction flats, and interior setup costs.
- Assuming tax deductions under Sec 24(b) apply equally in the New Tax Regime (Sec 24b deduction on self-occupied house is allowed only under Old Tax Regime).
- Over-leveraging beyond 40% of net monthly income.
