Making a loan prepayment means paying an extra amount towards your loan principal balance over and above your regular monthly installment (EMI). Since interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance, prepaying directly lowers the base on which interest compounds.
When you prepay, you can choose to keep the tenure same and lower your monthly EMI, or keep the monthly EMI same and shorten your loan tenure. In almost all compounding scenarios, keeping the EMI same and shortening the tenure results in significantly higher interest savings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is it better to reduce tenure or reduce EMI when prepaying?
Reducing tenure saves significantly more interest because it reduces the compounding duration. Reducing EMI provides immediate monthly cash flow relief but saves less total interest overall.
2. How early in the loan should I start making prepayments?
Prepayments are most effective in the first half of the loan tenure. This is because interest represents the majority of your monthly payment in the early years; reducing principal early cuts compounding interest significantly.
