EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed monthly payment made by a borrower to a lender on a set date each month. It covers both principal repayment and interest charges on the outstanding loan amount.

What is the formula for EMI calculation?

EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N – 1], where P = Principal loan amount, R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), N = Loan tenure in months.

Does a higher loan tenure reduce EMI?

Yes, a longer tenure reduces the monthly EMI but increases the total interest paid over the loan period. Shorter tenure means higher EMI but lower total cost.

You can use this EMI calculator for home loans, car loans, personal loans, education loans, two-wheeler loans, gold loans, and any other fixed-rate loan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EMI? ›

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed monthly payment that a borrower makes to a lender to repay a loan. Each EMI comprises a portion of the principal and the applicable interest, spread evenly over the loan tenure.

What is the EMI formula? ›

The formula is: EMI = [P × R × (1+R)ᴺ] ÷ [(1+R)ᴺ – 1] — where P is the principal, R is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and N is the tenure in months.

Does higher tenure mean lower EMI? ›

Yes — a longer tenure reduces your monthly EMI, making it more affordable. However, the total interest paid over the life of the loan increases significantly. A shorter tenure costs more per month but saves money overall.

Which loans can I calculate EMI for? ›

You can calculate EMI for any fixed-rate loan: home loan, car loan, personal loan, education/student loan, two-wheeler loan, gold loan, business loan, and more.

What is an amortization schedule? ›

An amortization schedule shows a year-by-year (or month-by-month) breakdown of every loan payment — how much goes to principal repayment, how much is interest, and what your remaining loan balance is after each payment.

Is this EMI calculator accurate? ›

Yes — our calculator uses the standard reducing balance EMI formula used by all major Indian banks (SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, etc.). Results are highly accurate for fixed-rate loans with monthly compounding.
