How EMI Calculation Works

The EMI calculator uses the following formula to calculate your monthly installment:

EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n - 1]

Where:

• P is the principal loan amount
• r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• n is the total number of monthly installments (loan tenure in years × 12)

Understanding Loan Components

When you take a loan, your EMI comprises two parts:

• Principal Repayment: The portion of your EMI that goes towards repaying the actual loan amount
• Interest Payment: The portion that goes towards the interest charged by the lender

Initially, a larger portion of your EMI goes towards interest payment, but as you continue to repay, more of your EMI goes towards principal repayment.

Factors Affecting Your EMI

• Loan Amount: Higher loan amounts result in higher EMIs
• Interest Rate: Higher interest rates increase your EMI
• Loan Tenure: Longer tenures reduce your EMI but increase the total interest paid
• Prepayment: Making additional payments towards your loan can reduce the overall interest burden

Tips for Managing Your Loan

• Choose a loan tenure that gives you a comfortable EMI
• Consider prepaying part of your loan when you have surplus funds
• Compare interest rates from different lenders before taking a loan
• Maintain a good credit score to qualify for lower interest rates
• Avoid taking multiple loans that can strain your monthly budget
