Direct answer
How can I tell whether personal-loan foreclosure is worth it?
Estimate future interest remaining, then subtract the foreclosure charge and GST. Also consider the return or liquidity lost by using cash today and verify the result against a dated lender quote.
Worked example
On Rs 5 lakh outstanding with 30 months left, a high rate can make closure valuable, but a 3% fee and GST reduce the saving.
What to check
- Use principal outstanding from the statement.
- Compare future interest—not total EMI—with charges.
- Preserve emergency cash.
How the calculator approaches it

- 2.Subtract the lender foreclosure charge and GST.
- 3.Estimate the alternative growth forgone by using cash to close the loan.
- 4.Compare the result with a dated lender foreclosure statement.
Important limitation
