Q1: What is the difference between fixed and variable rate EMI calculations?
A: Fixed rate calculations use a constant interest rate throughout the loan term, while variable rate calculations use the current rate and may change over time as rates fluctuate.
Q2: How often should I recalculate my EMI with variable rates?
A: You should recalculate whenever the interest rate changes significantly, typically at rate adjustment periods specified in your loan agreement.

A: Yes, the EMI formula applies to any amortizing loan with regular monthly payments, including personal loans, auto loans, and education loans.
Q4: What happens if interest rates increase after I take the loan?
A: With variable rate loans, your EMI may increase to maintain the original loan term, or your loan term may extend if you keep the same EMI amount.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator for variable rate loans?
