1. Original Loan Details
2. Prepayment Strategy & Mode
3. Decision Option Preference
Keep monthly EMI constant. Pay off loan months or years earlier to maximize total compounding interest savings.
Keep remaining tenure constant. Lower your monthly EMI obligation to improve monthly household cash flow.
Option A (Tenure Reduction) vs. Option B (EMI Reduction) Comparison
* Option A produces 4,37,485 higher interest savings than Option B because keeping EMI constant accelerates principal compounding.
💡 Liquidity & Emergency Savings Safety Reminder
Prepayment can significantly reduce interest outgo, but using too much available cash may reduce your liquid emergency reserves. Ensure you maintain at least 6 months of living expenses in an accessible emergency account before making large lump-sum loan prepayments.
Note: This calculator does not assess your personal emergency-fund needs or household liquidity constraints.
