1. What is the EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines the fixed monthly payment amount for an Australian mortgage, including both principal and interest components. It helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment.

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, accounting for both principal and interest components.
