I built a free EMI calculator that answers the question most loan tools skip


Almost every EMI calculator tells you your monthly payment. Almost none answer the question that actually saves money: if you have extra cash, should you use it to pay down the loan faster (reduce tenure) or lower your monthly payment (reduce EMI)? Same rupee, very different outcomes.

Built a calculator that handles this properly:

  • Instant EMI, total interest, and true all-in cost (including processing fee)
  • Full month-by-month amortization schedule with CSV export
  • Prepayment simulator — one-time or recurring, reduce-tenure vs reduce-EMI, or compare both side by side
  • Home, car, personal & education loan presets with typical rate ranges

Like everything on ForgePlug, it's 100% client-side — your loan details never leave your browser, no signup, works offline.

Feedback welcome, especially on the prepayment UX.
