How does extra EMI prepayment save home loan interest?

Making extra EMI prepayments directly reduces your outstanding loan principal. Because interest is charged on the remaining balance, paying down principal early cuts cumulative interest and significantly reduces your loan tenure.

How much interest can I save by paying 1 extra EMI per year?

Paying just 1 extra EMI per year on a 20-year home loan typically reduces loan tenure by 4 to 5 years and saves tens of thousands in bank interest.
