1. What is the BDC Loan EMI Calculator?

The BDC Loan EMI Calculator helps business owners calculate their Equated Monthly Installments (EMI) for loans from the Business Development Bank of Canada. It provides an accurate estimate of monthly payments based on principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a loan over a specified period, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is crucial for business financial planning, budgeting, and determining loan affordability. It helps entrepreneurs understand their monthly financial commitments and make informed borrowing decisions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in CAD, annual interest rate as a percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers with principal > 0, interest rate > 0, and loan term between 1-30 years.
