1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed monthly payment amount for a Canadian 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 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)
\( n \) — Loan term in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that pays off the entire loan (principal + interest) over the specified term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is crucial for financial planning, budgeting, and determining mortgage affordability for Canadian home buyers.

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.
