What Is This Tool?
The Loan Refinance Calculator helps you figure out whether refinancing is actually worth it. It compares your current loan with a new refinance offer and shows the real impact on your monthly EMI and your total cost. It’s especially helpful when the new rate looks attractive, but you’re not sure if fees and term changes will cancel out the savings.
How This Tool Works (Simple Explanation)
- You enter what’s left on your current loan (remaining balance, rate, and months/years left).
- You enter the new refinance rate and the new term you’re considering.
- If you have refinance fees, you add them too (optional but realistic).
- The tool calculates EMI for both and compares total repayment so you can see the difference clearly.
Why You Should Use This Tool
Refinancing can lower your EMI and reduce interest — but it can also stretch your loan longer and increase what you pay overall. This calculator gives you a quick, clear answer before you make the switch. It’s a simple way to avoid refinancing just because the rate looks lower.

Features
Side-by-side view: You can see your current loan and the new refinance option together, so the difference is obvious.
Accurate EMI math: The calculator uses the same standard EMI formula most lenders use for amortized loans.
Fees included: Refinance fees are optional, but supported — because real offers usually come with some cost.
Break-even estimate: It gives a simple idea of how many months it may take to recover the fees from EMI savings.
FAQs
1) What does “break-even” mean here?
It’s an estimate of how long it could take for your monthly EMI savings to cover refinance fees.
2) Can refinancing ever increase my total cost?
Yes. If the new loan term is much longer, you might pay interest for more months even with a lower rate.
3) Should I include fees?
Yes, if you know them. Even small fees can change whether refinancing is worth it.
4) Is this the exact number my bank will give?
It’s a strong estimate for EMI-based loans. Banks may add other charges or adjust rounding slightly.
5) What if my new rate is floating?
This tool assumes a fixed rate for calculation. For floating rates, treat it as a “best estimate” using the current offered rate.
6) Does this include prepayment options?
No. It keeps things simple and compares two standard EMI plans without extra payments.
