SBI Personal Loan EMI Calculator — FY 2026-27

About this SBI EMI Calculator
This SBI EMI Calculator computes the monthly EMI, total interest, and full amortization schedule for an SBI personal loan at the current Xpress Credit / Xpress Elite rate band (starting 11.5% p.a. for eligible salaried customers). It uses the same reducing-balance formula that SBI’s official per-lakh EMI table publishes, so the output matches your sanction letter to the rupee.
SBI Bank offers three main EMI calculator variants depending on the loan product you’re modelling — pick the one that matches your use case:
- SBI home loan EMI — 30-year tenure, 8.50% floor for Govt/Defence/PSU, MaxGain overdraft variant
- Currently viewing — Xpress Credit / Xpress Elite, 6-year tenure, 11.50% floor for eligible salary-account holders
- car loan rates at SBI — 7-year tenure, 8.75% floor for salaried, up to 100% on-road funding for select profiles
For the generic EMI math that underlies all three, see the general EMI Calculator. For a full lifetime-cost model (EMI + processing fee + GST + lifetime tax savings), use the Home Loan Total Cost Calculator.
SBI Personal Loan (Xpress Credit / Xpress Elite) — April 2026 rates

| Xpress Credit (diamond scheme) | 11.45% | 11.70% | 12.15% | ₹30 L |
| Xpress Credit (platinum) | 11.70% | 11.95% | 12.40% | ₹25 L |

SBI personal loan EMI worked example — ₹5 lakh × 5 years
Common scenario: ₹5 lakh Xpress Credit at 11.45% for a salaried CIBIL 800 applicant over 60 months:
- Principal (P) = ₹5,00,000
- Monthly rate (r) = 11.45 / 12 / 100 = 0.009542
- Tenure (n) = 60 months
- EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1) = ₹10,988
- Total interest over 5 years = ₹1,59,263
- Total outflow = ₹6,59,263
- Plus processing fee 1.5% = ₹7,500 + 18% GST = ₹8,850 one-time
- All-in cost = ₹6,68,113 (≈₹1.68 L over and above the principal)
SBI vs HDFC vs ICICI — personal loan comparison (April 2026)
| Bank | Rate (CIBIL 800+ salaried) | Processing fee | Max tenure | Prepayment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SBI Xpress Credit | 11.45% p.a. | 1.5% (max ₹15 K) | 6 years | 3% (nil after 12 EMIs) |
| HDFC Bank | 10.75% p.a. | 1% + GST (min ₹999, max ₹25 K) | 6 years | 2–4% |
| ICICI Bank | 10.80% p.a. | Up to 2.5% + GST | 6 years | 5% (nil after 24 EMIs) |
| Axis Bank | 11.25% p.a. | 1.50% + GST | 5 years | 2–4% |
SBI’s rate sits slightly higher than HDFC and ICICI on average, but the Xpress Credit product wins for three specific profiles: (1) Central Government / Defence salaried applicants with SBI salary account (rate can drop to 10.95%), (2) SBI pension-account holders (fixed 11.30%), and (3) high-CIBIL applicants with a long SBI relationship (negotiated rate concession). Private-corporate employees without SBI salary account generally get a better deal at HDFC or ICICI.

Can I prepay my SBI personal loan?
