1. What is EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.

2. How Does the EMI Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

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

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (₹)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
\( n \) — Loan tenure in months

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