How it Works

The EMI Calculator uses the standard reducing-balance (diminishing balance) formula. Each month, interest is calculated on the remaining loan balance. The EMI stays constant, but the proportion going toward principal increases over time while the interest portion decreases. The amortisation table shows the complete month-by-month breakdown.

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 instalments

Examples

Input: Loan: ₹10,00,000, Rate: 8.5%, Tenure: 20 years

Result: EMI ≈ ₹8,678 | Total Interest ≈ ₹10,82,817

Input: Loan: ₹5,00,000, Rate: 10%, Tenure: 5 years

Result: EMI ≈ ₹10,624 | Total Interest ≈ ₹1,37,450

Input: Loan: ₹3,00,000, Rate: 0%, Tenure: 12 months

Result: EMI = ₹25,000 | Total Interest = ₹0

Frequently Asked Questions

What does EMI stand for?

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment. It is the fixed monthly payment a borrower makes to a lender until the loan is fully repaid.

How is EMI calculated?

EMI is calculated using the reducing-balance formula: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ / ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of months.

What happens if the interest rate is 0%?

For a zero-interest loan, the EMI is simply the loan amount divided by the number of months (P ÷ n). No interest is charged.

Does a longer tenure reduce EMI?

Yes, a longer tenure reduces the monthly EMI but increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
