What Is This Tool?
The Loan Comparison Calculator helps you compare two loan options side-by-side. Instead of guessing based on the interest rate alone, you can see the monthly EMI, total amount repaid, and total interest for each loan — all in one place. It’s perfect when you’re choosing between banks, NBFCs, or even different loan tenures.
How This Tool Works (Simple Explanation)
- You enter the loan amount, interest rate, and term for Loan A.
- You do the same for Loan B.
- The calculator finds the EMI for both using the standard bank EMI formula.
- Then it totals up repayment and interest so you can see which one is cheaper overall.

Loan offers can look similar, but small differences in rate or tenure can change your EMI and interest a lot. This tool helps you compare quickly, spot the hidden cost of a “longer term”, and choose the loan that matches your budget without overpaying.

FAQs
1) Does a lower EMI mean the loan is better?
Not always. A longer loan term can reduce EMI but increase total interest. That’s why total repayment matters.
2) Is this the same EMI calculation banks use?
Yes, it uses the standard amortized EMI formula. Some lenders may add extra charges that aren’t included here.
3) Can I compare loans with different amounts?
Yes. The tool works even if Loan A and Loan B have different principal amounts.
4) Can I enter term in months instead of years?
Yes. Just change the “Loan Term Format” to months and enter the number of months directly.
5) Does this include processing fees or insurance?
No. This calculator keeps things simple and compares EMI and interest only. If you want fees included, you’d need a separate fee input.
6) What if the interest rate is 0%?
Then your payment becomes simply loan amount divided by the number of months — no interest added.
