Home loan EMI for 20 years
A 20-year tenure sets how long you pay and how big each payment is. On a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5%, your EMI would be about ₹43,391 a month. Over the full term you would repay ₹1,04,13,879, and ₹54,13,879 of that is interest. The table below shows the 20-year EMI for loans from ₹20 lakh to ₹1 crore at rates from 7.5% to 10%. Find the row closest to your loan and the column closest to your rate. Then enter your exact numbers in the calculator above. Each extra year of tenure lowers the EMI a little and adds interest.

What if…
One prepayment or a 0.5% rate change can move your interest by lakhs. Try one.
· Add a one-time payment or an extra monthly amount to see the saving.
Worth knowing
For every ₹1 you borrow, you pay back ₹1.08 in interest.
In year 13, more of your EMI starts going to the loan than to interest.
Pay one extra EMI a year and you save ₹10.29 L and finish 39 months early.
Banks use the standard reducing-balance formula:
EMI = P × r × (1+r)n / ((1+r)n − 1)
P is the loan amount, r is the monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of months.
With your numbers
- P = ₹50,00,000
- r = 8.5% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.007083
- n = 240 months
- EMI = ₹43,391
Each month interest is charged on what you still owe. That is why early EMIs are mostly interest.
