1. What is EMI Calculation?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines the fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. For HDFC credit card balance conversions, this helps borrowers understand their monthly repayment obligations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

\[ EMI = \frac{P \times R \times (1 + R)^N}{(1 + R)^N - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (decimal)
\( N \) — Loan tenure in months
\( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that includes both principal and interest components over the loan tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers plan their finances, understand repayment obligations, and make informed decisions about credit card balance conversions to EMI options.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan tenure in months. All values must be valid (principal > 0, interest rate > 0, tenure between 1-120 months).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the benefit of converting credit card balance to EMI?
A: Converting to EMI allows you to pay off large purchases over time with fixed monthly payments, often at lower interest rates than regular credit card charges.

Q2: Are there any processing fees for EMI conversion?
A: HDFC may charge a processing fee for converting credit card purchases to EMI. Check with the bank for current charges.

Q3: Can I prepay my EMI loan?
A: Most banks allow prepayment of EMI loans, but may charge a prepayment penalty. Check HDFC's specific terms and conditions.

Q4: How does interest calculation work for EMI?
A: In the initial EMIs, a larger portion goes toward interest payment. As the loan matures, a larger portion goes toward principal repayment.

Q5: What happens if I miss an EMI payment?
A: Missing EMI payments may result in late payment fees, increased interest rates, and negative impact on your credit score.
