# LoanSense

> Free loan calculators for India (₹): EMI, prepayment, RBI repo-rate changes, offer comparison, eligibility, balance transfer and debt-free goals, plus a private loan tracker. No sign-up; data stays on the user's device. Also available to AI assistants as an MCP server.

Calculations use the reducing-balance EMI method Indian lenders use, with interest worked out monthly on the outstanding balance. Flat rates are converted to their reducing equivalent first. Default rates on the site are illustrative, not offers. The current RBI repo rate is 5.50% (decided 7 October 2026).

## For AI assistants (MCP)

- [LoanSense MCP server](https://loansense.in/mcp): setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, VS Code and Cursor, tools and FAQ.
- Endpoint: https://loansense.in/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless, no authentication). Use its tools instead of computing loan maths yourself.
- Every tool result includes plan_url, a link to the plan on loansense.in, and links to a printable summary or detailed report in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada or Bengali. The user opens a report link and saves the PDF from the browser; nothing is stored on a server.

Tools:
- calculate_loan: EMI, total interest, end date and insights for a loan: when principal overtakes interest, when half is repaid, the true rate with the processing fee, the flat/reducing equivalent, and what one extra EMI a year or a 5% yearly EMI rise saves. Includes a yearly schedule.
- plan_prepayment: Effect of a one-time, recurring or yearly EMI step-up prepayment, comparing reduce tenure with reduce EMI, the saving per rupee prepaid, and how much less the same lump sum saves five years later.
- apply_rate_change: Effect of one or more floating-rate changes (e.g. an RBI repo-rate move on an EBLR loan): keep the EMI and change the tenure, or change the EMI and keep the end date. Warns about negative amortisation and gives the rate at which the EMI stops covering interest.
- compare_offers: Rank two or three loan offers (flat or reducing, with fees) on the same amount by true rate including fees, with EMI, total interest and total cost.
- convert_flat_reducing: Convert a flat rate to its reducing-balance equivalent and back, and compare a flat and a reducing quote on the same loan.
- check_eligibility: Maximum EMI and loan amount from income (the FOIR method Indian lenders use), whether the chosen loan fits, and for home loans the property price to target.
- evaluate_balance_transfer: Whether moving a loan to a lower rate pays off after switching costs: lower EMI or same EMI and finish sooner, net saving and months to recover the costs.
- plan_debt_free: What it takes to finish a loan by a target month (extra EMI, an upfront prepayment or a yearly lump sum), and the effect of paying a fixed amount extra every month.
- compare_prepay_vs_invest: Compare prepaying a lump sum with investing it, on the date the loan would have ended, with the break-even investment return.
- get_report_link: A link to a printable LoanSense report for a plan: a summary (loan details, insights, charts, yearly schedule) or a detailed report (every EMI, financial-year totals, flat vs reducing, closing amounts, prepayment, tenure and rate options, other tools, checklist, glossary). The user opens it and saves it as a PDF from the browser. Pass the inputs of every tool the report should cover.
- list_loan_types: The loan types LoanSense covers, with their calculator pages, whether each is usually floating-rate and its usual maximum tenure, plus the current RBI repo rate, the report sections and the languages available. It gives no example figures: ask the user for theirs.
