Compare the decision, not just the headline number
For borrowers, the lowest EMI is not always the lowest-cost option. A longer tenure can reduce the monthly payment while increasing total interest. Use the EMI calculator for each scenario and compare both numbers.
Scenario workflow
- Start with the same amount or goal for both scenarios.
- Use realistic rate, return and time assumptions.
- Compare the monthly cash flow and the total result.
- Consider liquidity, taxes, fees and risk before deciding.
