Home Loan Transfer Calculator
Compare your current home loan with a new lender's offer. Find out if refinancing will save you money, when you will break even on transfer costs, and whether it is worth making the switch.
What is a Balance Transfer? Moving your outstanding home loan from your current lender to another lender offering a lower interest rate.
Transfer Costs Processing fees, legal charges, stamp duty, and other costs charged by the new lender should all be factored in.
Break-Even Analysis The break-even period tells you how many months it takes for your EMI savings to cover the one-time transfer costs.

When Should You Consider a Home Loan Transfer?
A home loan balance transfer makes sense when the interest rate differential is significant enough to offset the one-time transfer costs within a reasonable period.
Key Factors to Evaluate
Rate Difference: Even a 0.5% reduction can save lakhs over a long tenure
Remaining Tenure: Transfer is more beneficial early in your loan tenure
Transfer Costs: Processing fee, legal charges, and foreclosure fees (if any)
Break-Even Period: Should be well within the remaining loan tenure
How the Calculator Works
1. Calculates your current EMI using the outstanding amount, current rate, and remaining tenure
2. Calculates the new EMI using the same outstanding amount but the new interest rate
3. Computes gross savings = difference in total payable over the remaining tenure
4. Deducts transfer costs (processing fee + other charges) to arrive at net savings
5. Calculates the break-even period = transfer costs ÷ monthly EMI savings
6. Provides a recommendation based on whether net savings are positive
💡 Pro Tip: Transfer early in the loan tenure when the interest component in your EMI is the highest. As you approach the end of your tenure, most of the EMI goes toward principal, making a transfer less beneficial.
⚠️ Important Considerations
Check if your existing lender charges a foreclosure or prepayment penalty
Factor in legal and technical verification charges from the new lender
Some lenders charge a processing fee as a percentage of the outstanding loan
The new lender will re-evaluate your property and creditworthiness
Switching to a fixed-rate loan from a floating-rate loan (or vice versa) involves additional trade-offs
