How the EMI Calculation Works

Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is calculated using the formula for loan amortization:

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 payments

The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment needed to pay off a loan with interest. The calculator uses this formula to determine your EMI based on the inputs you provide.

Example Calculation

Let's say you want to take a credit card loan of ₹500,000 at an interest rate of 12% for 5 years (60 months).

Using the formula:

EMI = 500000 × (0.12/12) × (1 + 0.12/12)^60 / [(1 + 0.12/12)^60 - 1] EMI ≈ ₹11,240.60

Your monthly EMI would be approximately ₹11,240.60. Over 5 years, you would pay a total of ₹734,436, with ₹234,436 going toward interest.
