SIP investment vs Higher Home Loan EMI: Which option will help you save over Rs 14 lakh?

When you repay a high amount, long duration home loan, the interest you pay can be higher than your principal amount. You can repay your loan early and save a significant amount if you increase the amount of your EMI or run a systematic investment plan (SIP) along with your loan. Know which of the option among two can help you save more money and time.

Home loans are often high in amount. So, when you take a home loan, you pay a large amount in interest, which can be more than the principal amount. E.g., when you take a Rs 75 lakh home loan for 20 years at an 8.50 per cent annual interest rate, your equated monthly instalment (EMI) is Rs 65,087, and the interest amount you pay is Rs 81,20,818, which is over Rs six lakh more than the principal. There are many ways through which you can reduce your repayment amount. Some of the prominent ways are by increasing your EMI amount, paying one extra EMI every year, paying 10 per cent extra every year, or running a systematic investment plan (SIP) along with your home loan EMI and covering a large repayment amount through that.

In our previous article, we told you how you can save over Rs 58 lakh on a Rs 1 crore, 20-year home loan if you simultaneously run an SIP, which is 25 per cent of your EMI amount.

In this write-up, we will tell you that, will you save more money if, instead of running an SIP that is 25% of your EMI, you increase the EMI amount in the same proportion?

It means that if you are paying Rs 80,000 in EMI and running a Rs 20,000 SIP, will you save more money if you do not opt for an SIP and increase your EMI amount to Rs 100,000 a month. 

Before going through the calculations and knowing the result, we put some conditions for home loan, such as the EMI amount, its tenure, the interest rate, the SIP amount, and its annual return.

Breakdown of home loan conditions:

Scenario 1

When you run a SIP of 25%

1. Home Loan Details:
○ Loan Amount: Rs 1 Crore
○ Interest Rate: 8.50%
○ Tenure: 20 years (240 months)
○ Monthly EMI: Rs 86,782
○ Total repayment amount: Rs 2,08,27,758
2. SIP Strategy:
○ SIP Amount: 25% of EMI = Rs 21,500 per month
○ Investment Period: 20 years
○ Expected Return: 12% annually

As was shown in the previous story, by investing a 25 per cent equivalent amount of your EMI into a SIP, you were finishing a 240-month loan in 138 months, saving Rs 82.10 lakh on repayment, investing Rs 29,67,000 in SIP, and thus saving nearly Rs 59 lakh overall.

Scenario 2

In Scenario 2, you are paying Rs 21,500 extra in your EMI, which means, the total amount you will pay in a month will be Rs 108,282 (Rs 86,782+Rs 21,500). It is important to know that when you opt for an increased EMI, the extra amount is added to your principal and not your interest. Here's how you will pay your Rs 1 crore home loan with an increased EMI amount.

Here's how much money you will save

Total EMIs you are paying= 151

Total amount you are paying in EMIs= Rs 108,282X151= Rs 1,63,50,582

Amount you would have paid in 20 years (240 months)= Rs 2,08,27,758

Amount you will save= Amount you would have paid in 240 years- amount you paid in 151 months

Rs 2,08,27,758- Rs 1,63,50,582= Rs 44,77,176

Thus, you see that running an SIP along with your EMI would have saved you= Rs 58,84,842-Rs 44,77,176= Rs 14,07,666

Apart from that, in Scenario 1, you will repay your home loan in 138 months compared to 151 months in Scenario 1.
