HOW TO USE

  1. 1

    Enter your current outstanding balance (check your latest loan statement), the annual interest rate, and either your current EMI or remaining tenure in months.

  2. 2

    Enter your extra monthly payment — even Rs 500–1,000/month extra can save months of repayment. The calculator shows the new payoff date and total interest saved.

  3. 3

    Enter an annual lump sum — for example, your annual salary bonus. You can also specify which month of the year you receive it (e.g. March for financial year-end bonus).

  4. 4

    The comparison table shows all 4 strategies: minimum only, extra monthly, lump sum only, and both combined — with payoff months, interest saved, and months saved for each.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Priya has Rs 10,00,000 outstanding on her education loan at 9%, with 10 years (120 months) remaining. Current EMI: Rs 12,668/month. Strategy 1 (minimum only): 120 months, total interest Rs 5.20L. Strategy 2 (Rs 2,000 extra/month): 96 months (2 years early), interest saved Rs 1.14L. Strategy 3 (Rs 50,000 annual lump sum): 77 months (3.6 years early), interest saved Rs 2.03L. Strategy 4 (both combined): 67 months (4.4 years early), interest saved Rs 2.50L. Paying just Rs 2,000 more per month saves over Rs 1 lakh in interest.
