Do the numbers before you fall for the flat

Eight calculators built around the NRI's actual problems: a salary in one currency, a loan in another, and tax rules written for someone who lives here. Everything runs in your browser, and every result has a shareable link, send it to whoever back home needs convincing.

The eight calculators

The calculators pair with the NRI money & paperwork guides, EMI with the home loan guide, the TDS estimator with the TDS guide, and yield with the city guides where the rents come from.

Why a rupee-only calculator misleads an NRI

Every bank in India will calculate an EMI for you, and every one of them reports it in rupees. That is the wrong currency for the person paying it. Your income arrives in dollars, pounds, dirhams or Canadian dollars, and the rupee has drifted against all of them over the kind of fifteen or twenty year tenure a home loan runs to. A payment that looks comfortable at today's rate is a different commitment at a rate ten percent away, and none of the lender calculators show you that.

That is the gap these tools were built for. The EMI calculator converts the payment into the currency you actually earn, and the currency impact calculator takes the point further: a property that appreciates steadily in rupees can still hand you a loss once you convert the proceeds home, if the rupee slid faster than the property rose. It is the least intuitive number in NRI property investing and the one most likely to be ignored.

How these calculators work

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us, stored, or shared, which is why there is no sign-up and no email capture. The formulas are written out in plain English on each calculator's page, along with the assumptions and the limits of what the result can tell you, so you can check the working rather than trust it. Every result gets a shareable link that carries your inputs, which is useful when the person who needs convincing is back home.

Every figure these tools produce is illustrative and for planning only. They are not a quote, a valuation, or financial advice. Interest rates, exchange rates, duty rates and tax rules change. Confirm the numbers with your lender, banker or a qualified adviser before acting on them.
