1. What is EMI Calculation?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation helps determine the fixed monthly payment amount for a Standard Chartered Bank credit card loan in Bangladesh. It includes both principal and interest components spread over the loan tenure.

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
• \( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (BDT)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that includes both principal repayment and interest charges over the loan period.
