How this is calculated

Interest accrued during the moratorium (principal × rate × moratorium years, simple-interest convention) is added to the principal; the standard EMI formula is then applied over the repayment tenure.

Frequently asked questions

What is a moratorium period?
Most education loans don't require EMI payments during the course plus a short grace period (often 6–12 months) after — interest may still accrue during this time, depending on the lender.
Does interest accrue during the moratorium?
Often yes, added to the principal, which is why your EMI-phase principal can be higher than what you originally borrowed — this calculator accounts for that.
Is education loan interest tax-deductible?
Yes — under Section 80E, the entire interest paid (no upper limit) is deductible for up to 8 years, for loans taken for higher education.
