EMI Calculation Formula
The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) for a credit card loan is calculated using the following formula:
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of monthly installments (loan term in months)
This formula accounts for the interest on both the principal and the accumulated interest over the loan term.
Example Calculation
Let's calculate the EMI for a ₹500,000 loan at 12% annual interest for 5 years (60 months):
- Convert annual interest to monthly: 12% ÷ 12 = 1% monthly
- Plug values into the formula:
EMI = 500,000 × 0.01 × (1.01)^60 / [(1.01)^60 - 1]
- Calculate the result: EMI ≈ ₹12,325.50 per month
This example shows that your monthly payment would be approximately ₹12,325.50 for a ₹500,000 loan at 12% interest over 5 years.
Excel Formula for EMI
You can calculate EMI in Excel using the PMT function:
=PMT(rate, nper, pv)
Where:
- rate = monthly interest rate (annual rate/12)
- nper = number of periods (loan term in months)
- pv = present value (loan amount)
For our example, the Excel formula would be:
=PMT(0.01, 60, 500000)
This will return the same EMI amount as our manual calculation.
