Home loan EMI payments are usually a substantial part of your monthly expenses. Also, it is a long-term commitment. A lot of people find managing their finances every month challenging.
Don't stress - you are not alone. Proper management of your home EMIs is essential to achieving financial stability and preventing undue stress. In this blog, we will cover important aspects which can help you in achieving financial balance.
Understanding Home Loan EMIs
Before going on to the strategies, it is first important to understand the concept of housing loan EMI. EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment, a fixed sum paid by the borrowers to the lenders on a particular date every month. The EMI includes both the principal and the interest component, which is determined by the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure.
Home Loan EMI Calculation Formula
To calculate your housing loan EMI, you can use the following formula:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1]
Where: EMI = Equated Monthly Instalment
P = Loan amount
R = Monthly interest rate
N = Loan tenure in months
Alternatively, you can use our Home Loan EMI Calculator, to compute with ease what exactly your monthly EMI outflow has to be. This method will assist you in planning better with your funds and avoiding surprises when your loan repayment payments are due.
Set a budget: You need to clearly set up a monthly expense budget with paying off your EMI as your top priority. This will help you to manage your monthly expenses and avoid missing out on EMI payments. If you are self-employed, have a clear picture of your monthly sources of income. Meeting financial obligations and saving for your future should be your top priority. Be mindful of unnecessary and impulse purchases. Try to be tight on lifestyle-related expenses.
Automate Your Payments: Most lenders provide you with the facility of setting up standing debit instructions. It means that the lenders will automatically deduct the EMI from your bank account on the fixed date and credit it to the lender. This process ensures that you do not miss the EMI and that there is no damage to your credit score. It can be a good idea to set up a separate bank account for EMI payment and keep 2-3 EMI instalment amounts as a buffer to help you sail over a tight month.
Loan Rescheduling: It is very important to be financially vigilant. Keep track of the interest rates. If you have opted for a floating interest rate, you can reach out to your lender to reduce the interest rates and either reduce the EMI amount or reduce the loan tenure. If you have been paying your EMIs regularly, you may have a chance to get a good deal from other lenders as well. In such a scenario, you can opt for the balance transfer facility.
Prepayment of the loan amount: Your EMI payment is a long journey, typically ranging from 10 to 25 years. Your salary or earnings are likely to increase over time. Sometimes, you may also get sudden financial windfalls. You should ensure that in case of an increase in your income, you apportion an additional amount and keep paying a lump sum amount to reduce your loan burden. This will result in a significant reduction in the total interest paid over the years. In some cases, a pre-payment penalty can be charged. Hence, it is advised to check with your lender before making the prepayment.
Increase your EMI with Income Growth: When your income goes up over time, think about voluntarily raising your EMI repayments. You will pay back your loan quicker, and this will save you a lot on interest payments in the long term. Even a small percentage boost can make a big difference over time.
Create a Fund for Emergencies: An emergency fund for a minimum of 4-6 months' equivalent of your obligatory expenses, such as EMI payments, domestic expenses, school fees of children, etc, can be a crucial strategy to sail through unexpected life emergencies like losing your job or medical expenses. This fund can help you in making your EMI payment on time and avoid any default.
These tips and strategies, if followed diligently, can help you manage your EMIs effectively. This ensures your financial well-being and provides you with peace of mind. Having financial discipline is key to a stress-free life.
