How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter annual interest paid from your lender statement.
  2. 2Enter annual principal repaid in the financial year.
  3. 3Add how much Section 80C is already used via other investments.
  4. 4Choose your tax regime and gross annual income for slab approximation.
  5. 5Review deductible amount, estimated tax saved, and effective interest cost.

Interpreting effective borrowing cost

Tax deductions reduce your net cash outflow and therefore effective borrowing cost. This is why two borrowers with same interest rate can have different real costs.

If you are in old regime and still have 80C room left, principal repayment can improve tax efficiency further.

For filing-level precision, always validate this estimate with lender certificate and your CA before final tax submission.
