- Reduce the EMI. Keep the same end date and pay less each month. It eases your budget but saves less.
Charges to check first
Many personal loans are at a fixed rate, so a part-payment or foreclosure fee is common. This calculator ignores any fee. Subtract what you would pay from the interest saved, and read your Key Fact Statement before you decide.
When it saves the most
Early. Interest is charged on the outstanding balance, which is highest in the first months. A prepayment then removes a large balance that would have earned interest for a long time.
We are here to answer
all your questions
Reducing the tenure saves more interest, because you clear the balance sooner. Reducing the EMI eases your monthly budget but saves less. If you can carry the current EMI comfortably, reducing the tenure is usually the better use of the money.
Only what you can spare after keeping an emergency fund. If a loan costs more than your savings earn, prepaying wins, but not if it leaves you short and forces you to borrow again.
Most lenders keep the EMI and shorten the tenure by default. Some let you ask for a lower EMI instead. Ask your lender in writing how it treats a part-payment.
Yes. Use the yearly prepayment box to see what a regular top-up does. Small, regular prepayments often save more than people expect.
Many lenders set one, often a multiple of your EMI. Ask yours before you plan around a small amount.
