1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed monthly payment amount for a home loan from Punjab National Bank (PNB). It includes both principal and interest components, ensuring the loan is repaid in full over the specified tenure.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (decimal)
• \( N \) — Number of monthly installments
• \( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that includes both principal repayment and interest charges, ensuring the loan is fully paid off by the end of the tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers plan their finances, understand their monthly obligations, and choose the right loan tenure and amount that fits their budget.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan tenure in years. All values must be valid positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
