How Balance Transfer Works
Compare total repayment if you stay with the existing loan versus transferring to a lower-rate lender. The calculator uses the visible inputs, applies the formula below, and rounds rupee outputs to whole numbers so the result is easy to read on mobile.
Formula
Savings = current total repayment - (new total repayment + processing fee)
Current total repayment = current EMI x remaining months
New total repayment = new EMI x new tenure monthsExample Calculation
India-Specific Assumptions
- Loan and investment results use standard public formulas used by Indian banks and mutual-fund calculators.
- Rates are editable reference assumptions, not offers from a bank or AMC.
- All rupee results are rounded to whole rupees for readability.
- Inputs are treated as estimates; actual bank, employer, university, insurer, or tax-office calculations may differ.
- The calculator uses Indian formats, slab concepts, and common FY 2025-26 assumptions where relevant.
Common questions

Yes. A small outstanding balance, short remaining tenure, or high fee can make the transfer more expensive than staying.
