Home Loan Tax Benefit Calculator
A home loan comes with significant tax benefits under the Indian Income Tax Act. The DhanLift Home Loan Tax Benefit Calculator helps you estimate the deductions you can claim on both principal repayment (Section 80C) and interest paid (Section 24(b)) every financial year.
Section 24(b) allows a deduction of up to ₹2 lakh per year on home loan interest for a self-occupied property. Section 80C allows up to ₹1.5 lakh per year on the principal portion of your EMI, subject to the overall 80C limit.
Use this calculator to understand your annual tax saving from your home loan, helping you plan your net cost of borrowing after accounting for the tax shield.
Whether you're purchasing your first home or repaying an existing home loan, this calculator helps estimate the income tax deductions available on both principal repayment and home loan interest, enabling better financial and tax planning.
