💡 What Is the Mortgage Interest Deduction?

The mortgage interest deduction allows you to deduct the interest you pay on a qualified home loan from your taxable income, lowering your tax liability.

You may qualify if:

  • You itemize deductions on your income tax return
  • The loan is used to buy, build, or improve your primary or secondary residence
  • The loan amount is within the IRS or local authority limits (e.g., ₹2 lakh under Indian Section 24(b))

This deduction is one of the most valuable tax breaks for homeowners.

🧮 Example Calculation

You paid ₹2,00,000 in interest this year on your home loan.

Under Section 24(b) in India, you can claim:

  • Up to ₹2,00,000 as deduction for a self-occupied property
  • Full interest if the property is rented out

If you’re in the 20% tax bracket:

  • Tax savings = ₹2,00,000 × 20% = ₹40,000

In the US, if you’re paying $8,000 in interest and itemize deductions:

  • You deduct $8,000 from your taxable income
  • If you’re in the 22% tax bracket, you save $1,760 in taxes
