The Math Behind Education Loan EMI Calculator
When you take a loan, banks calculate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) using the reducing balance method. Understanding the exact breakdown of your principal and interest over the tenure helps you make informed financial decisions.
1. The Moratorium Trap
During your study period, simple interest accrues. If you don't pay this interest during the moratorium, it gets capitalized into your principal, drastically increasing your EMI later.
2. Currency Fluctuations
If studying abroad, the depreciation of the INR against foreign currencies can effectively increase your borrowing cost. Lock in rates where possible.
3. Section 80E Tax Benefits
The entire interest paid on an education loan is tax-deductible under Section 80E for up to 8 years, making the effective cost of borrowing much lower.
