1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed monthly payment amount for a home loan in India. It includes both principal and interest components, allowing borrowers to repay the loan over the specified term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

\[ EMI = P \times \frac{r \times (1 + r)^m}{(1 + r)^m - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Loan principal amount (₹)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
