1. What is EMI Calculation?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. It is used to pay off both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.

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 (INR)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and converted to decimal)
\( N \) — Number of monthly installments
\( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that the borrower must make to the lender to repay the loan over the specified tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: EMI calculation helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment, plan their budget effectively, and compare different loan offers from various lenders.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan tenure in months or years. All values must be valid (principal > 0, interest rate > 0, tenure > 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What factors affect EMI amount?
A: EMI amount is affected by three main factors: principal amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. Higher principal or interest rate increases EMI, while longer tenure reduces EMI.

Q2: Can EMI change during loan tenure?
A: For fixed-rate loans, EMI remains constant throughout the tenure. For floating-rate loans, EMI may change when interest rates change.

Q3: What is the difference between reducing balance and flat interest rate?
A: Reducing balance method calculates interest on outstanding principal, while flat rate method calculates interest on original principal throughout the tenure. EMI calculation uses reducing balance method.

Q4: Are there any hidden charges in EMI?
A: EMI calculation typically includes only principal and interest. Other charges like processing fees, insurance, or late payment fees are separate and not included in EMI calculation.

Q5: Can I prepay my loan?
A: Most lenders allow prepayment, but may charge prepayment penalty. Prepayment reduces outstanding principal and may lead to reduced EMI or shorter tenure.
