Formula & Methodology Behind the Calculator
Our calculator uses precise financial mathematics to compute your home loan details after PMAY subsidies:
1. Standard EMI Calculation
The basic EMI formula is:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N-1]
Where:
P = Loan amount
R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate/12/100)
N = Total number of monthly installments (years x 12)
2. PMAY Subsidy Application
The calculator applies subsidies based on your selected category:
| Category | Income Range | Max Loan Amount | Subsidy Amount | Effective Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EWS | Up to ₹3 lakh | ₹6 lakh | ₹3 lakh | ~6.5% |
| LIG | ₹3-6 lakh | ₹6 lakh | ₹2.67 lakh | ~6.5% |
| MIG-I | ₹6-12 lakh | ₹9 lakh | ₹2.35 lakh | ~8.0% |
| MIG-II | ₹12-18 lakh | ₹12 lakh | ₹2.30 lakh | ~8.3% |
3. Amortization Schedule
The calculator generates a complete amortization schedule showing:
– Monthly principal repayment
– Interest payment breakdown
– Outstanding balance progression
– Total interest paid over loan tenure

Interactive FAQ
How does PMAY subsidy actually reduce my EMI?
The PMAY subsidy works by reducing your effective loan amount. For example, if you’re eligible for a ₹2.67 lakh subsidy on a ₹6 lakh loan, you effectively only need to repay ₹3.33 lakh. The government pays the interest on the subsidized portion (₹2.67 lakh) upfront to the lender, which reduces your monthly burden.
Mathematically: Original EMI = f(₹6,00,000), New EMI = f(₹3,33,000)
Can I get PMAY benefits if I already own a house?
No. PMAY benefits are only available for first-time homebuyers who don’t own a pucca house in their name or any family member’s name across India. The scheme specifically targets:
- Families without any residential property
- Those living in katcha houses
- People in rented accommodations
Ownership is verified through Aadhaar and property records during application.
What documents are required for PMAY application?
You’ll need to submit these mandatory documents:

- Category certificate (for EWS/LIG)

Additional documents may be required based on lender-specific requirements.
How is the PMAY subsidy amount calculated?
The subsidy is calculated based on:
- Income Category: Determines the maximum subsidy amount (₹2.30-3.00 lakh)
- Loan Amount: Subsidy applies only up to specific limits (₹6-12 lakh depending on category)
- Interest Rate: The NPV (Net Present Value) of interest subsidy is calculated at 9% discount rate
- Tenure: Standard 20-year period for subsidy calculation
Formula: Subsidy = Loan Amount × (Original Rate – 6.5%) × NPV Factor
The actual subsidy is the lower of: calculated amount or category maximum.
What happens if I prepay my PMAY loan?
Prepayment rules for PMAY loans:
- No penalty on floating rate home loans (RBI mandate)
- Prepayment reduces outstanding principal, saving future interest
- You can choose to:
- Reduce EMI while keeping tenure same
- Reduce tenure while keeping EMI same
- PMAY subsidy remains intact – you don’t lose the benefit
- Inform your bank to get revised amortization schedule
