Pre EMI vs Full EMI – Pre EMI is EMI paid for before starting an actual EMI of a loan. Pre EMI is generally paid for under-construction properties.

As we know that buying a dream home is very difficult. The cost of real estate is sky-rocketing. You need to shell out a lot of money to purchase or construct your own house. Additionally, you also need to go for a home loan when it comes to buying a dream home. Home Loan comes with Pre EMI and Full EMI. Let’s try to understand – What is Pre EMI? and the difference between Pre EMI and Full EMI.

Pre EMI

What is Pre EMI?

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment and Pre EMI stands for Previous to Equated Monthly Installment. This means if you borrow money from the bank to purchase a property that is under construction and loan is disbursed partially. You need to pay the interest amount on the disbursed home loan amount.

What is Full EMI?

Full EMI is EMI applicable to the fully disbursed stage. Suppose you take a home loan and you have taken possession and all property. Once your home loan is fully disbursed EMI applicable on the home loan is Full EMI. Full EMI contains the principal as well as the interest component.

How Pre EMI is calculated?

Mr.Ravi has purchased a property with Pre EMI option of 1 year. He has paid Pre EMI interest for one year as the property was under construction for 1 year and full disbursement was done after 1 year. The first disbursed amount was 5 Lakh on January 1, the Second disbursal of 5 Lakh was on 1st July. The remaining two disbursals of 5 Lakh each was on 1st October and 31st December.

Pre EMI calculation in above case would be – (4375 x 6) + (8750 x 3) + (13125 x 3) = Rs.91875

The formula for calculating Pre EMI would be [P X r X (1+r) ^ n]/ [(1+r) ^ n-1]

Where P is principal, r is the rate of interest and n is the total number of installment.

Note – Above example is for reference only.
