How Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) Works
An Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs apply to both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the loan EMI calculated?
Loan EMI is calculated using the reducing-balance 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.
Does choosing a longer tenure reduce my EMI?
Yes. A longer tenure spreads the principal repayment over more months, resulting in a lower monthly EMI. However, it also means interest accrues for a longer duration, substantially increasing the total interest you pay to the lender.
Can I enter tenure in years instead of months?
Yes. Simply click the Years button in the tenure control. The calculator automatically converts years into the exact total calculation months (e.g. 5 Years = 60 months).
Can I switch currencies without affecting numerical loan figures?
Yes. You can switch currencies using the dropdown in the header. Currency is treated as an independent display preference and will not alter your loan input values.
