Formula Used

1. Monthly rate: r = Annual Rate / 12 / 100

2. Adjusted principal after moratorium:

Simple: Pa = P × (1 + r × m)

Compound: Pa = P × (1 + r)m

3. EMI formula: EMI = Pa × r × (1 + r)n / ((1 + r)n - 1)

4. Total interest: Total Interest = (EMI × n) - Original Principal

5. Processing fee: Fee = Original Principal × Fee %

6. Total outflow: Total Outflow = (EMI × n) + Processing Fee

FAQs

1. What does this calculator compare?

It compares three loan offers using monthly EMI, total interest, processing fee, adjusted principal after moratorium, and overall repayment outflow.

2. Why is moratorium included?

Education loans often delay repayment while study continues. Moratorium can increase the principal before EMI starts, which changes affordability and total cost.

3. What is adjusted principal?

Adjusted principal is the loan balance after moratorium interest has been added. EMI is calculated from this amount, not always from the original disbursed amount.

4. Does the lowest EMI always mean the best loan?

No. A lower EMI may come from a longer tenure, which can raise total interest. Always compare EMI with total outflow and repayment duration.

5. Are processing fees part of EMI?

Usually no. Fees are often charged upfront or added separately. This calculator includes them in total outflow so the full borrowing cost is easier to judge.

6. Can I use any currency?

Yes. The calculator is currency-neutral. Enter every loan option in the same currency so the comparison remains accurate and meaningful.

7. What does the balance graph show?

The Plotly graph shows how each loan balance declines across repayment months. Faster drops usually indicate shorter payoff periods or stronger principal reduction.

8. Should I choose the cheapest total outflow automatically?

Not always. The best choice depends on your budget, repayment comfort, and moratorium needs. Use total cost together with EMI and tenure before deciding.
