What is the EMI for a ₹10 Lakh Personal Loan?
The monthly EMI for a ₹10 Lakh Personal Loan at 14% interest for 3 years is approximately ₹34,178 per month. Over the full term you repay ₹12.3 L in total — ₹10 Lakh of principal plus ₹2.3 L of interest (23% of what you borrowed).
Personal loans are unsecured, so tenures are short — typically 1 to 5 years — and rates are much higher than secured loans. Keep the tenure as short as your cash flow allows. The 14% rate used here is a typical market rate for a personal loan; your actual rate depends on your lender, credit score, and profile. Change the rate and tenure in the calculator above to match a specific offer.

Month 1

In the first year, 30% of every EMI goes to interest and only 70% reduces the principal. The principal portion of your EMI only overtakes the interest portion around month 1. This front-loading of interest is why prepaying early has such an outsized effect.

Prepayment impact on this loan
If you prepay ₹1 L (10% of the loan) in month 18 while keeping the same EMI, you would:
3 months
shaved off the tenure
₹21,354
saved in interest
The earlier you prepay, the more you save — because the interest component of each EMI is highest at the start. Floating-rate personal loans have no prepayment penalty for individual borrowers.
Tips for a ₹10 Lakh Personal Loan
Personal loan rates vary hugely (11–24%) by credit profile. Check your pre-approved offers and compare at least three lenders before accepting.
Watch for processing fees (1–3%) and prepayment charges — they can add materially to the headline rate.
Because rates are high, prepay a personal loan before any lower-rate loan (like a home loan) when you have surplus funds.
