EMI Formula Explained
The EMI calculation uses the compound interest formula:
EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] ÷ [(1+R)^N-1]
Where:
• P = Principal loan amount
• R = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• N = Number of monthly installments (Tenure in months)
Where:
• P = Principal loan amount
• R = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)

Frequently Asked Questions
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each month. It is calculated using the formula: EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] ÷ [(1+R)^N-1], where P is principal, R is monthly interest rate, and N is tenure in months.
Yes, this EMI calculator works for all types of loans including home loans, car loans, personal loans, education loans, and business loans. The calculation method remains the same regardless of the loan type.
Principal is the original loan amount you borrowed, while interest is the cost of borrowing that money. Each EMI payment contains both principal and interest components. Initially, interest forms a larger portion, but over time, the principal component increases.
Our EMI calculator uses the standard banking formula and provides highly accurate results. However, actual EMI may vary slightly due to bank-specific rounding methods, processing fees, insurance, and other charges not included in the basic calculation.
An amortization schedule is a complete table showing each monthly payment over the entire loan term. It breaks down how much of each payment goes toward principal and interest, and shows the remaining balance after each payment.
Shorter tenure means higher EMI but lower total interest paid. Longer tenure means lower EMI but higher total interest. Choose based on your monthly budget and financial goals. Generally, shorter tenure is better if you can afford higher EMI.
Financial experts recommend that your total EMI (including all loans) should not exceed 40-50% of your monthly income. This ensures you have enough money for other expenses and emergency funds.
Yes, most loans allow prepayment. You can make partial prepayments to reduce either the EMI amount or the tenure. Use the amortization schedule to identify the best times for prepayment to maximize interest savings.
For floating rate loans, EMI changes with interest rate fluctuations. When rates increase, EMI increases, and when rates decrease, EMI decreases. Fixed rate loans maintain the same EMI throughout the tenure.
The basic EMI calculation includes only principal and interest. Additional charges like processing fees, insurance premiums, legal charges, and prepayment penalties are separate and vary by lender. Always check the loan agreement for complete cost breakdown.
