1. What is the EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines the fixed monthly payment amount for a loan in Bangladesh, which includes both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off a loan over a specified period, accounting for both principal and interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is crucial for financial planning, budgeting, and understanding the total cost of borrowing for loans in Bangladesh.

4. Using the Calculator

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