## How this is calculated

Compares the remaining EMI and total interest on an outstanding home loan at the current lender against a new lender at a different rate, over the same remaining tenure, then nets the interest saved against the one-time cost of switching to find whether refinancing pays off.

**Formula:** `EMI_old = computeEMI(P, oldRate, n); EMI_new = computeEMI(P, newRate, n); netSavings = (EMI_old - EMI_new) x n - switchingCost; breakEvenMonths = switchingCost / (EMI_old - EMI_new)`

**Variables:**

- `P`: Outstanding loan principal, in INR
- `oldRate`: Current lender annual interest rate, as a percentage
- `newRate`: New lender annual interest rate, as a percentage
- `n`: Remaining loan tenure, in months
- `switchingCost`: Processing fee plus other transfer costs plus any prepayment penalty, in INR

Reference: Matches the EMI-difference-minus-switching-cost methodology used by BankBazaar's Home Loan Balance Transfer Calculator.

## Assumptions

- Assumes the new lender finances the exact outstanding principal over the same remaining tenure as the current loan; a longer or shorter new tenure changes the comparison.
- Floating-rate home loans carry no prepayment penalty under RBI rules; the calculator zeroes this cost automatically when the floating-rate option is selected.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do larger loans save proportionally more from a balance transfer?

Yes, since the switching cost (processing fee, legal charges) is roughly fixed or grows slower than the loan amount, while interest savings scale with the outstanding principal, so larger loans usually see a faster break-even.
