Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as EMI?
EMI is the fixed monthly amount on a loan. This calc works either way — enter your EMI (or any fixed payment) and it shows the payoff timeline.
What's the power of extra payments?
Huge. Even $50 extra monthly on a 20% APR debt can cut total interest by 30–40% and shave years off. Every extra rupee goes entirely to principal.
Should I pay off high-interest debt first?
Financially yes (Avalanche method — highest rate first). Emotionally, paying smallest first can feel more motivating (Snowball method).
Should I invest instead of paying off?
Compare rates. Pay off if debt rate > expected (after-tax) investment return. 18% debt vs 12% SIP = pay off. 8% home loan vs 12% SIP = invest.
