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)

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
