1. What is the SBI Home Loan Calculator?

The SBI Home Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) for a home loan from State Bank of India. It calculates your payment based on loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment
• \( P \) — Principal loan amount
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: This formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest charges, with the payment amount remaining constant throughout the loan term.

3. Understanding Home Loan Payments

Details: Your monthly payment is divided between interest and principal. Early in the loan, most of your payment goes toward interest. Over time, more goes toward principal.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in rupees, annual interest rate (SBI's current home loan rate), and loan term in years. The calculator will show your estimated monthly payment, total repayment amount, and total interest paid.
