How it works

EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay every month on a loan. It is computed as EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of monthly instalments. Early instalments are mostly interest; later ones mostly principal.

Example

For a ₹10,00,000 home loan at 8.5% per year over 20 years (240 months), the monthly rate is 0.7083%. The formula gives an EMI of about ₹8,678 — ₹20,82,776 paid in total, of which ₹10,82,776 is interest.

Frequently asked questions

Does the EMI change during the loan?

For fixed-rate loans, no. For floating-rate loans the EMI or the tenure changes whenever the bank revises the rate.

What reduces EMI more — lower rate or longer tenure?

A longer tenure lowers the EMI but increases total interest sharply. A lower rate reduces both EMI and total interest.

Are processing fees included?

No. This calculator covers principal and interest only; one-time charges like processing fees are separate.

Is this accurate for any currency?

Yes — the formula is universal. Amounts are shown with Indian digit grouping but the maths is identical everywhere.
