How the EMI is calculated

EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is worked out from three numbers: the loan amount you borrow, the annual interest rate the bank charges, and the number of months you'll take to repay. The standard formula every lender uses is:

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n − 1)

P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of monthly instalments. This calculator uses exactly this formula — the same numbers your bank will show you at the sanction desk, to within rounding.

What the outputs mean

  • Monthly EMI — what you pay every month for the entire tenure.
  • Total interest payable — sum of interest across all instalments; the real "cost" of the loan.
  • Total payment — principal + interest; the full amount you'll have paid by the last instalment.

Tips before you take a loan

  • Increasing the tenure lowers the monthly EMI but sharply raises total interest.
  • A partial prepayment early in the schedule saves more interest than one made late.
  • Compare the effective rate (with all processing charges) not just the sticker rate.
  • Aim for an EMI ≤ 40% of your monthly take-home so unexpected expenses don't force default.
