How to Calculate EMI
The formula used for EMI calculation is the standard mathematical formula used by banks and financial institutions:
EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N-1]
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate/12/100)
- N = Loan tenure in months
Frequently Asked Questions
EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment. It's the fixed amount you pay each month towards your loan repayment, which includes both principal and interest components. The ratio of principal to interest changes over time throughout the loan tenure.
Higher interest rates increase your EMI amount and total interest paid. Even a small difference in interest rate can significantly impact your total repayment amount over the loan tenure. For example, a 1% increase on a 20-year home loan can increase total interest by lakhs of rupees.

Reducing balance method calculates interest on the outstanding principal, so EMI decreases over time. Flat interest rate calculates interest on the original principal throughout the tenure. Most banks use reducing balance method, which is what our calculator uses.
Prepayment usually reduces the loan tenure while keeping EMI same, unless you specifically request for EMI reduction. Some lenders allow restructuring where prepayment can reduce your EMI. Check with your lender about prepayment options and charges.
