EMI Formula Explained

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N – 1]

Where:

  • P = Principal loan amount
  • R = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
  • N = Number of monthly installments

Example Calculation

Input:

  • Loan Amount: $50,000
  • Interest Rate: 8% per annum
  • Loan Tenure: 60 months (5 years)

Output:

  • Monthly EMI: $1,013.82
  • Total Interest: $10,829.20
  • Total Amount: $60,829.20
  • Principal: 82.2% of total payment
  • Interest: 17.8% of the total payment

Quick Tips

  1. Lower Interest Rate = Lower EMI and less total interest paid
  2. Shorter Tenure = Higher EMI but less total interest paid
  3. Longer Tenure = Lower EMI but more total interest paid
  4. Larger Down Payment = Smaller loan amount and lower EMI

Common Loan Tenures

  • Personal Loans: 12-60 months (1-5 years)
  • Car Loans: 36-84 months (3-7 years)
  • Home Loans: 120-360 months (10-30 years)
  • Education Loans: 60-180 months (5-15 years)
