1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed monthly payment amount for a loan, including both principal and interest components. It's used for Sonali Bank personal loans in Bangladesh.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (BDT)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and converted to decimal)
• \( N \) — Number of monthly installments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)
• \( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (BDT)

Explanation: The formula distributes the loan repayment equally over the loan term, with each payment covering both interest and principal components.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation
