Last reviewed: 16 July 2026
Direct answer
How much difference can an Rs 5 lakh home-loan prepayment make?
The impact is larger when principal, interest rate and remaining tenure are high. Enter current statement values because using the original loan amount or tenure can materially overstate the result.
Worked example
On Rs 50 lakh outstanding at 8.5% with 180 months left, test Rs 5 lakh and compare the lower EMI result with the shorter-tenure result.
What to check
- Use current—not original—loan values.
- Check whether charges apply.
- Compare the revised lender schedule with the estimate.
How the calculator approaches it
- 1.Apply the prepayment to current principal.
- 2.Recalculate EMI while preserving the original remaining tenure.
- 3.Separately solve the new tenure while preserving the original EMI.
- 4.Compare monthly relief, months saved and total remaining interest.
Important limitation
The lender may not apply your preferred option automatically. Submit instructions and verify the revised amortisation schedule and any applicable charge.
