Buy or rent: Making a decision using the EMI calculator
It is a conventional understanding that buying a home is a better option than living on rent. While the security of owning a house adds to your asset portfolio, in some Indian cities, EMIs may be dearer or more expensive than rent. With ecis2016.org’s EMI calculator, you can understand the difference.
Case 1:
Let us take the example of Kiran Shah who has been planning to invest an amount of Rs 2 crores into a property. Currently, she pays Rs 60,000 as rent for a 2BHK in Andheri west, Mumbai. Should she go ahead and buy the property?
Let us analyse.
Property price = Rs 2 crores
Loan amount = Rs 1.60 crores
Down Payment = Rs 40 lakhs
Interest rate = 8.3%
Loan tenure = 15 years
Current rent = Rs 60,000
Shah’s monthly gross salary is Rs 1.9 lakhs and falls under the 20% income tax slab. She is interested in a ready-to-move-in property and expects a capital appreciation of 4% per year. Her investments under Section 80C, would save her Rs 1.50 lakhs per year.
Should she buy this property or continue on rent?
The amortization table for Shah looks like this:
If you look at it, the per month EMI comes to around Rs 1,55,688. Repaying the loan amount over 15 years will mean that Shah will be spending over Rs 2.80 crores in acquiring this property. Others charges, such as processing fees, GST and other taxes have not been included in this calculation.
On the other hand, renting costs her Rs 60,000 per month only. However, we have not included the rent hikes per year. Despite the price, renting in Shah’s case will be profitable.

Case 2:
In Neena Pillai’s case, the following apply:
Property price = Rs 75 lakhs
Loan amount = Rs 60 lakhs
Down Payment = Rs 15 lakhs
Interest rate = 8.3%
Loan tenure= 15 years
Current rent = Rs 41,000 per month
Simply feed in the details on the EMI calculator as explained before.
Over the next 15 years, Pillai would have spent about Rs 1.30 crores in the home-buying process. While her EMI is still higher than her monthly rent, at Rs 58,383 per month, in the long-run, buying becomes a better decision. Check the amortization schedule to understand this.
