Education Loan Calculator

EMI and interest on a student education loan.

A loan with a tax break

Education loans typically offer a moratorium (no EMI during the course) and Section 80E lets you deduct the full interest paid for up to 8 years — with no upper limit. This makes the effective cost lower than the headline rate.

Note

This tool computes the standard repayment EMI. During the moratorium interest accrues; some borrowers pay simple interest then to reduce the burden later.
