The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) Calculator helps borrowers calculate their monthly loan payments according to Bangladesh Bank regulations. It provides accurate EMI calculations for various loan types including personal loans, home loans, and car loans.

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 (BDT)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)

\( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (BDT)

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