Calculate Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for loans. See total interest, payment schedule, and amortization chart.
What is EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each month. EMIs are applied to both interest and principal, so over time the loan is fully paid off.
EMI Formula
EMI = P Γ r Γ (1 + r)n / ((1 + r)n β 1), where P = principal, r = monthly interest rate, n = total months.
How to Use This EMI Calculator
Enter the loan principal, annual interest rate, and tenure in months or years. The EMI calculator shows your equated monthly installment, total interest, and total payment.
Formula & How It Works
EMI = P Γ r Γ (1+r)^n / [(1+r)^n β 1], where P = principal, r = monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100), n = number of monthly installments.
Calculation Example
Loan of βΉ10,00,000 at 8.5% for 20 years: EMI = βΉ8,678. Total payment = βΉ20,82,720. Total interest = βΉ10,82,720 (more than the principal!).
Expert Tips
Increasing EMI by even 5-10% can significantly reduce your loan tenure and total interest. Compare processing fees across lenders β they add to the effective cost of the loan.
