Help with home loan calculations
New home owner here. Want to know if this is correct. (numbers are approximated for easy calculation).
Lets say I have 550,000 semi flexi loan at 3.5% over 35 years. Repayment is around 2500 a month. I calculated the interest is about 20k a year.
AFAIK the initial years of repayment are mostly into interest, and I can do extra payment into principal.
So if I am able to pay 10,000 a month consistently (instead of 2.5k), does it mean by 5th year or so I will be done with the loan (120k/year)? Will the bank charge me interest they have calculated over 35 years?
Is this advisable?
Tq in advance
*tried calling the bank but the officers passing the phone around.
