READ THE RESULT

The lower EMI is not always the cheapest loan.

Fees and loan duration can reverse the apparent ranking. Consider cash flow, total repayment and contract terms.

1

Enter loan details

Use the same amount and term to compare the two offers fairly.

2

Add upfront fees

One-time charges affect total cost even if they do not change EMI.

3

Review total repayment

Consider total interest and terms rather than only monthly outflow.

EMI = principal x monthly rate / (1 - (1 + monthly rate)^(-months))

How does loan comparison work?

Each offer is amortised over the same number of months using its annual rate. The comparison includes optional upfront fees separately.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

A few things worth knowing before you judge the result.

Can the lower EMI have a higher overall cost?

Yes. Higher fees or a longer tenure can make the total cost higher.

Do both loans need equal tenure?

This standard calculator uses one common tenure for a fair rate comparison. Use loan-specific offer terms for a precise comparison.

Are prepayment penalties included?

Not automatically. Confirm contract-specific penalties and other fees with your lender.

Can rates change?

This calculation assumes fixed rates. Floating-rate loans can have different future payment schedules.

Important: This calculator is for planning and educational use. Real outcomes can differ because of business conditions, accounting treatment, market behavior, taxes, attribution, timing and assumptions not represented here.
