1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed monthly payment amount for a personal loan from SBI. It includes both principal and interest components, ensuring the loan is repaid in full over the specified tenure.

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 ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
\( N \) — Number of monthly payments (tenure in years × 12)
\( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (INR)

Explanation: The formula distributes the total repayment amount (principal + interest) equally over the loan tenure, with the interest component being higher in the initial payments.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers plan their finances, understand their repayment capacity, and choose the right loan tenure and amount that fits their budget.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan tenure in years. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What factors affect EMI amount?
A: EMI is primarily determined by three factors: principal amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. Higher principal or rates increase EMI, while longer tenure reduces it.

Q2: Are there any hidden charges in SBI personal loans?

A: Yes, SBI allows prepayment of personal loans, usually after a certain period. Prepayment charges may apply as per the bank's policy.

Q4: How does interest rate type affect EMI?
A: This calculator assumes fixed interest rates. For floating rates, EMI may change during the loan tenure based on market conditions.

Q5: What is the maximum tenure for SBI personal loans?
