Is Home Loan Prepayment Worth It?

Prepaying a home loan saves guaranteed interest equal to your loan rate. Investing may earn more if returns beat the loan rate after tax — but with risk. On an 8.5% loan, a ₹2 lakh prepayment can save ₹3–4 lakh in interest over the remaining tenure; use the prepay vs invest calculator with your outstanding balance and horizon.

When prepayment wins

High loan rate (9%+), peace of mind from being debt-free, or no disciplined investment habit.

Near retirement — reducing EMI stress often beats chasing extra market returns.

When investing may win

Low loan rate (7–8%), long investment horizon, and steady SIP discipline.

Keep an emergency fund before large prepayments — liquidity matters.
