This worked example uses the current typical market rate of 8.5% for a home loan over 20 years, computed from the full amortization schedule. Total interest over the term is Rs. 54.14 lakh — about 108% of the Rs. 50.00 lakh borrowed. Because interest is front-loaded, the principal portion of your EMI only overtakes the interest portion in month 143 (around year 12), so prepaying in the early years has an outsized effect.
