A loan calculator is a tool used to estimate the monthly payments, total interest, and total repayment amount for a loan. Users input details such as the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term, and the calculator computes the monthly payments based on this information. It helps borrowers understand the financial implications of taking out a loan and allows them to compare different loan options. To understand how HDFC bank Education loan EMI Calculator works:

Here is an example of how to calculate the EMI for an HDFC education loan:

• Let’s consider that you have taken a loan of Rs. 15 lakhs for a course period of 24 months. The interest rate is 10.5% per annum and the moratorium period is 12 months. You will be paying SI during the moratorium period within a repayment period of 10 years 

Here’s the calculation for it:

• Total amount payable = Loan amount + (Loan amount * Interest rate * Moratorium period / 12)
• Total amount payable = 15,00,000 + (15,00,000 * 10.5 * 12 / 100)
• Total amount payable = Rs. 18,90,000

Calculate the EMI using the following formula:

• EMI = [P x R x (1+R)N]/[(1+R)N-1]

Where,

• P = Principal amount (loan amount)
• R = Rate of interest (monthly)
• N = Tenure (in months)

Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12

Monthly interest rate = 10.5 / 100/ 12 = 0.00875%

Tenure = Number of years given to you for repayment (in months)

Tenure = 120 months (10 years)

EMI = [15,00,000 x 0.00875% x (1+0.00875%)132]/[(1+0.00875%)132-1]

EMI = Rs. 24,099

So, the EMI for your HDFC education loan would be Rs. 24,099

• The education loan repayment period in HDFC is 15 years, which starts immediately after the moratorium period ends. 
• You have 15 years to pay back your education loan with HDFC, and this starts right after the moratorium period. 
• They give students a letter that says how much interest they're paying, the repayment terms, The EMI, the Total amount payable, and other important stuff about repaying the loan.

You can pay every month until the loan is fully paid, but there are also ways to finish paying earlier:

• Pick a shorter tenure to repay.
• Pay extra money or make partial payments.
• Check if you can move your loan to another place
