Yes, opting for an education loan is the quickest and easiest way to begin a rewarding career without emptying your savings. Other than that, opting for a student loan also grants you tax benefits and makes for a solid entry into your credit history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These reasons alone make education loans a worthy investment. However, to ensure that they don\u2019t become a burden later on, you need to have a 360-view of all the terms attached to the loan \u2013 and knowing how the interest rate is calculated is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s start by understanding the primary method by which lenders calculate interest and how you can use an education loan interest rate calculator to compute it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compound interest is a type of interest rate calculation method where the interest of the next cycle (typically a month) is calculated based on both the principal and the earlier levied interests. Simply put, it can be thought of as \u2018interest on interest.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interest on an education loan is calculated using the following formula: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A = P*(1 + r\/n) ^n*t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A represents the total interest charged<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P is the principal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
r is the educational loan interest rate<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n n is the compounding rate<\/p>\n\n\n\n t is the loan tenure<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s understand how the interest is calculated using an example. Say, if you\u2019ve taken a loan of Rs. 10 lakhs, on an interest rate of 7% for two years. Typically, the compounding rate for education loans is one year; so, you can substitute n for 1. For this scenario, the formula will look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A = 1000000 * (1 + 0.07\/1) ^ 1*2<\/p>\n\n\n\n A = Rs. 1014049<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, you\u2019d pay a total interest of Rs. 14,049 by the end of the loan tenure. Looks tedious, right? Well, you can always use an education loan<\/a> interest calculator to calculate anything you need to find regarding a loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional Read \u2013 Facts you need to know about Education Loan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Borrowers usually pay back the education loan through EMIs. So, it makes sense to calculate the instalment figure rather than the total interest amount. Let\u2019s look at the EMI calculation formula, which is slightly different from the regular compound interest formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EMI Amount = [P * r * (1+r) ^n] \/ [(1+r) ^N-1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you\u2019ve borrowed Rs. 5 lakhs at a 12% rate of interest for two years, your first EMI would approximately amount to Rs. 23,356.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This calculation may be even more tedious than the interest rate calculation. Fortunately, the internet offers many education loan EMI calculators to make this task easy for you.

These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to these factors, the loan applicant must be an Indian citizen and have completed their senior secondary schooling. They should also have completed their 10th and 12th grade (and their graduation, if applying for a Master\u2019s degree) and have their mark sheets ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most financial institutions also require borrowers to provide additional documentation, such as an admission letter to the institution for which they need a loan, the fee structure, and documents like salary slips and ITR proof of the co-applicant. They will also need to know if the institution is accredited and recognised by a competent authority in India or abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you know the methods lenders employ to calculate your interest and EMIs, you can make an informed decision and go with a lender that offers the most affordable loan terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, you want to cut that search short, opt for Tata Capital\u2019s attractive personal loan<\/a> for education.
