Required Tenure

Total Interest
Loan tenure is the total duration over which you repay the loan (e.g., 20 years for home loans, 3-7 years for car loans). Longer tenure reduces monthly EMI but increases total interest substantially; shorter tenure increases EMI but saves total interest. A ₹50L home loan at 8.5% costs ₹43.5L at 20 years (EMI ₹48,695) versus ₹62L at 30 years (EMI ₹39,754). The 10-year extension saves just ₹8,941 monthly but costs ₹18.5L extra total interest—terrible tradeoff. Choosing optimal tenure requires balancing monthly affordability against total interest burden and your expected income trajectory. Young professionals with rising incomes can afford shorter tenures; those with stable/declining income may need longer tenures.
