About this calculator

Before taking a loan for a car or a big purchase, see how soon you could buy it by saving the same EMI instead — and how much interest that saves.

How is this calculated?

The loan costs the down payment plus EMI × months. The saving path invests the down payment and the same EMI each month at the savings return, until it covers the price — which rises each year at the chosen rate.
