FAQ
- Why does a longer tenure raise total interest?
- You pay interest for more months even if each EMI is smaller. Compare total interest for 20 vs 25 years with the same principal and rate.
- Is 8.5% the rate I will get?
- No—this is an illustration only. Actual offers depend on the lender, your profile and prevailing rates. Re-run with your quoted rate.
