An education loan EMI calculator helps students and parents plan repayment before borrowing for college. Enter the sanctioned amount, interest rate and repayment tenure to see the monthly EMI and total interest.

Repayment & the moratorium period

Education loans usually include a moratorium (course duration + 6–12 months) during which repayment is paused, though interest may still accrue. Regular EMIs begin after this period — this calculator estimates that EMI phase. Rates typically range from 8.5% to 12% p.a.

💡 Tax benefit

Under Section 80E, the entire interest paid on an education loan is tax-deductible for up to 8 years — with no upper limit on the amount.
