Helpful Information
How EMI is calculated
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is calculated using the formula: 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), and n is the number of monthly installments.
Principal vs interest breakdown
In the early years of a loan, a larger portion of each EMI goes toward interest. As the principal reduces over time, the interest component decreases and more of each payment goes toward principal repayment. This tool shows you the exact split for each month.
Factors affecting EMI
Three factors determine your EMI: the loan amount (principal), the interest rate, and the loan tenure. A higher interest rate or shorter tenure increases the EMI. A longer tenure reduces the monthly payment but increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
India-specific context
In India, home loan interest rates typically range from 8% to 10% per annum. Car loans range from 8% to 12%, and personal loans from 10% to 18%. The Reserve Bank of India's repo rate influences these rates. Most Indian banks use the reducing balance method for EMI calculation.
