Compare two loan offers side by side to see which actually costs less.
Not necessarily. A lower EMI often comes from a longer tenure, which can mean paying more total interest over the life of the loan even though each monthly payment feels lighter. This calculator shows total interest for both loans so you can compare the full cost, not just the monthly number.
Even with identical rates, a shorter tenure means less total interest paid overall, though the EMI will be higher. Which is "better" depends on whether you're optimizing for lower monthly payments or lower total cost.
No, this compares the core EMI and interest only. Processing fees, prepayment penalties, and other charges vary by lender and should be factored in separately when making a final decision.
Yes, the comparison works the same way for home loans, car loans, or personal loans — any loan repaid through equal monthly installments.
