1. What is the EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines the fixed monthly payment amount for an ICICI Bank home loan, which includes both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( N \) — Number of monthly installments (tenure in years × 12)
• \( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified tenure, accounting for compound interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers plan their finances, understand their repayment capacity, and choose the right loan tenure and amount.

4. Using the Calculator

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