How EMI Calculations Work
Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at specified intervals for the loan's life. The EMI formula accounts for both the loan amount and the interest.
EMI Formula
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n / [(1 + r)n - 1]
- P = Loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of monthly payments (loan term in years × 12)
The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that will fully amortize the loan over the specified term. The EMI includes both principal repayment and interest.
Note: HDFC Bank may offer different interest rates based on your credit score and loan type. Always check the latest rates before applying.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the EMI for a ₹500,000 loan with a 12% annual interest rate over 5 years.
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Loan Amount (P) | ₹500,000 |
| Annual Interest Rate | 12% |
| Loan Term (Years) | 5 |
Using the EMI formula:
- Convert annual rate to monthly: 12% ÷ 12 = 1% or 0.01
- Calculate number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
- Plug values into formula: EMI = 500,000 × 0.01 × (1.01)60 / [(1.01)60 - 1]
- Calculate (1.01)60 ≈ 1.8194
- Final calculation: EMI ≈ ₹12,345.67
Your monthly payment would be approximately ₹12,345.67, with a total interest of ₹174,733.33 and total repayment of ₹674,733.33.
