How is loan foreclosure calculated?

Loan foreclosure refers to the full repayment of the remaining loan amount before the end of the tenure. The key steps to calculate foreclosure are:

  1. Calculate Outstanding Principal: This is the initial loan amount minus the principal repaid through EMIs till date.
  2. Calculate Outstanding Interest: This is the interest accrued on the outstanding principal from the date of the loan disbursement until the date of foreclosure. It is calculated based on the interest rate applicable to the loan.
  3. Add Foreclosure Charges: Some financial institutions charge a foreclosure fee, typically 2-5% of outstanding principal. Add this if applicable.
  4. Total Foreclosure Amount: The sum of outstanding principal, interest and charges gives the total foreclosure amount.

The exact formula for calculating the loan foreclosure amount may vary slightly depending on the lender and the specific terms of the loan agreement.

However, the general approach is to add up the outstanding principal, interest, foreclosure charges, and any other applicable fees.   
It is important to note that the foreclosure amount may be subject to change based on the prevailing interest rates and any changes in the loan agreement. It is advisable to consult with the lender or a financial advisor to obtain an accurate calculation of the foreclosure amount.
