Plan your personal loan around your goal

A personal loan can help you fund your planned or urgent expenses, but the repayment plan can affect your monthly budget and total borrowing cost.

The Life Goal Loan Planner helps you evaluate your borrowing requirement in the context of your financial goal. Select a goal, enter the loan amount you may need and choose a repayment tenure to see an estimated:

• Monthly EMI
• Total interest payable
• Total repayment
• Repayment timeline

Whether you are planning a wedding, holiday, home renovation or getting funds to repay existing loans, comparing different loan amounts and tenures can help you understand the repayment commitment before you apply.

What is a Life Goal Loan Calculator ?

A life goal calculator is designed to help you connect a borrowing decision with a specific financial requirement. Instead of starting with an EMI figure, the Life Goal Loan Planner starts with the reason you need the loan.

Principal loan amount affecting personal loan EMI

Emergency

Evaluate repayment obligations before borrowing for unexpected expenses.

Personal loan interest rate impact on EMI calculation

Marriage

Ensure the loan aligns with your wedding budget and monthly finances.

Personal loan tenure duration influencing monthly EMI

Travel

Confirm that the EMI and repayment period fit within your regular expenses.

Credit score impact on personal loan interest rate and EMI

Home renovation

Determine the loan amount according to your renovation budget and desired repayment schedule.

Debt consolidation

Consider if consolidating multiple debts into one loan will simplify repayments and clarify your payoff timeline.

How is this different from a regular EMI calculator?

An isometric illustration of a percentage symbol representing personal loan interest rates

A regular EMI calculator generally starts with three numbers: loan amount, interest rate and tenure. It then calculates the EMI.

The Life Goal Loan Planner takes a different starting point. It asks what you are planning for and helps you work backwards from that goal to understand the loan requirement and repayment timeline.

Check your goal-wise EMI plan below

Once you select a goal and enter your preferred loan amount and tenure, the planner can present the key numbers in one place.

Monthly EMI Estimated amount payable every month
Total interest Estimated interest over the selected tenure
Total payable Principal plus estimated interest

These milestones can give you more context than an EMI figure alone. For instance, a lower EMI may come with a longer tenure, while a shorter tenure may increase the monthly repayment but reduce the repayment period.

The right choice depends on your financial situation, repayment capacity and the purpose of the loan. Use the planner to compare different combinations before making a borrowing decision.

How does the Life Goal Loan Planner work?

The planner uses three primary inputs:

Principal loan amount affecting personal loan EMI

Loan amount: Enter the amount you expect to borrow.

A higher loan amount generally results in a higher EMI and higher total interest, assuming the same interest rate and tenure.

Personal loan interest rate impact on EMI calculation

Interest rate: Enter the applicable annual interest rate.

A higher interest rate generally increases both the EMI and total interest payable.

Personal loan tenure duration influencing monthly EMI

Loan tenure: Select the repayment period.

A longer tenure generally reduces the monthly EMI but can increase the total interest payable. A shorter tenure can increase the EMI while reducing the repayment period and, typically, the total interest.

Credit score impact on personal loan interest rate and EMI

EMI Calculation

The calculator then estimates your monthly EMI, total interest and total repayment.

What to consider before choosing a personal loan

Before applying, compare the main factors that influence your borrowing costs and repayment process:

  • Interest rate: Review the rate and its impact on your EMI.
  • Loan tenure: Select a comfortable loan tenure. Longer tenures lower EMIs but increase total interest.
  • Fees and charges: Consider processing fees, foreclosure charges, and other costs.
  • EMI affordability: Select an EMI that fits your monthly budget.
  • Prepayment options:Confirm if part-prepayments or early closure are permitted and whether charges apply.

Planning a loan can involve more than estimating the EMI. Explore these calculators to understand different aspects of your borrowing decision:

Using more than one calculator can help you look at the loan from different angles before proceeding with an application.
