Should you prepay your loan or invest?

Loan prepayment reduces your outstanding principal, which saves interest over the remaining tenure. For a home loan at 8.5%, even a ₹5 lakh prepayment in the early years can save several lakhs in interest and reduce your tenure by years. The earlier you prepay, the more you save.

However, if your investment returns exceed your loan interest rate (after adjusting for taxes), investing may be more beneficial. For example, if your home loan is at 8.5% and you can earn 12% in equity mutual funds, the math may favour investing — though this comes with higher risk.

This calculator shows you the exact interest saved by prepaying, the tenure reduction, and a side-by-side comparison of prepaying versus investing that lump sum. Use it to make an informed decision based on your specific numbers.
