1. What is the EMI Calculation?

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

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 ÷ 100)
\( N \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in years × 12)
\( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (CAD)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the mortgage over the specified term, accounting for both principal repayment and interest charges.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is crucial for mortgage planning, budgeting, and understanding the total cost of borrowing. It helps borrowers assess affordability and plan their finances accordingly.

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 within reasonable ranges.
