How this number is worked out
A ₹1 Crore home loan at 8.5% over 20 years costs ₹86,782 a month, and ₹1.08 Cr of interest over the full term — 52% of everything you will repay. Lenders typically want this EMI to stay within 40–50% of your net monthly income, which puts the comfortable take-home for this loan at about ₹2,16,956 a month.
The tenure table above shows the fundamental trade-off: stretching the loan lowers the EMI but adds lakhs of interest. Two practical levers cut the real cost — negotiating the rate (every 0.25% off saves roughly ₹3.25 L on this loan) and prepaying: one extra EMI a year typically shortens a 20-year loan by about 3 years.
