About Foreclosure Charges Calculator

Foreclosing a loan early avoids all remaining interest but may trigger a penalty on the outstanding principal. Comparing the future interest that disappears with the charge shows whether closing early is worthwhile.

Formula

Net benefit

Net = (EMI × n - B) - B × charge%

B
Outstanding balance
n
Months remaining

Frequently Asked Questions

Are foreclosure charges always payable?

Many regulators bar them on floating-rate loans to individuals. Fixed-rate and business loans commonly still carry them.

Should surplus cash always foreclose a loan?

Only if the loan rate beats what the cash could safely earn after tax, and after keeping an emergency buffer.
