What is SBI MAXGAIN?
SBI MAXGAIN is a home loan product offered by the State Bank of India that combines a regular home loan with a term deposit. The deposit runs in parallel with the loan, and its maturity amount is used to partly or fully repay the loan at the end of the tenure. This structure helps borrowers reduce the overall interest burden and provides a guaranteed lumpsum amount at the end of the loan period.
Why Use an EMI Calculator?
Home loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay each month to service the loan. The SBI MAXGAIN calculator lets you:
- Determine the monthly payment for different loan amounts.
- See how the term deposit component affects your overall cost.
- Compare scenarios with varied interest rates and tenures.
- Plan your finances better before applying for the loan.
EMI Calculator
Understanding the Calculation
The EMI for the loan portion is calculated using the standard formula:
EMI = P r (1+r)n / [(1+r)n 1]
where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (= annual rate 12 100)
- n = Total number of monthly installments (years 12)
In the MAXGAIN product, a term deposit is created with the same principal amount. The deposit earns interest at the specified deposit rate and matures at the end of the loan tenure. The maturity amount is used to repay a part of the outstanding loan, effectively reducing the total interest paid.
Sample Calculations
| Loan Amount () | Interest Rate (%) | Tenure (Years) | Deposit Rate (%) | Monthly EMI () | Maturity Amount () |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30,00,000 | 8.35 | 20 | 6.50 | 26,537 | 49,64,845 |
| 45,00,000 | 8.85 | 25 | 6.75 | 36,824 | 84,31,210 |
| 60,00,000 | 9.15 | 30 | 7.00 | 48,133 | 1,38,79,212 |
The figures above are illustrative. Your actual EMI will vary based on the exact rates and tenure you choose.
Benefits of SBI MAXGAIN
- Reduced Effective Interest: The deposit's maturity amount offsets a large portion of the loan, lowering the total interest payable.
- Guaranteed Savings: The term deposit offers a fixed return, providing a safety net.
- Tax Advantages: Both the home loan interest and the deposit interest may be eligible for tax deductions under applicable sections of the Income Tax Act.
- Flexibility: You can choose the tenure for both loan and deposit according to your financial goals.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Early repayment of the loan before the deposit matures may affect the benefits.
- The deposit rate is typically lower than the loan rate, but the guaranteed return adds security.
- Ensure you have sufficient cash flow to service the EMI throughout the tenure.
- Check the latest SBI MAXGAIN eligibility criteria and documentation requirements before applying.
