EMI Calculator

Calculate your Equated Monthly Installment

What Is This Calculator?

Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full. The EMI system makes budgeting easier for borrowers because the payment amount remains constant throughout the loan tenure, unlike some other payment structures where the amount varies. This predictability helps borrowers plan their monthly finances effectively. EMI applies to various types of loans including home loans, car loans, personal loans, and education loans. The calculation considers three key factors: the principal amount borrowed, the interest rate charged by the lender, and the loan tenure in months. Understanding EMI helps you compare loan offers, determine affordability, and make informed borrowing decisions. A lower EMI might seem attractive but often comes with longer tenure and higher total interest paid. Use EMI calculations to find the right balance between affordable monthly payments and total cost.

Formula Used

EMI = P x r x (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1)

P:Principal loan amount
r:Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100)
n:Loan tenure in months

Example Calculation

Inputs

Loan Amount: 10,00,000

Interest Rate: 10% per annum

Tenure: 24 months

Calculation Steps

Monthly interest rate: 10/12/100 = 0.00833

EMI = 10,00,000 x 0.00833 x (1.00833)^24 / ((1.00833)^24 - 1)

EMI = 10,00,000 x 0.00833 x 1.22 / 0.22

EMI = 46,144

Result

Monthly EMI: 46,144, Total Payment: 11,07,456, Total Interest: 1,07,456
