Let’s take an example of a prospective homebuyer Aarya, aged 33. She wants to fulfill her financial goal of a dream home costing Rs.60,00,000. After planning for the down payment for 1/6th of the amount (Rs. 10,00,000), she takes a home loan for Rs.50 lakhs for a period of 20 years at an interest rate of 8.75%.

After setting aside Rs. 6 Lakhs emergency money (6Xmonthly expenses), she has a target investment amount of Rs. 1,00,04,528

Let’s see how much monthly SIP she needs to achieve her financial freedom assuming an annual return of 10%:

Thus, with an SIP of Rs.13,175, she can achieve financial freedom from her home loan in 20 years.
