How EMI Calculations Work
Equated Monthly Installments (EMI) are calculated using the formula for the monthly payment on a loan with compound interest. The formula is:
Where:
P = Principal loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
n = Number of payments (loan term in months)
The calculator uses this formula to determine your monthly payment based on the loan amount, interest rate, and term you provide.
Note: HSBC may adjust the actual EMI based on your creditworthiness and other factors. This calculator provides an estimate based on the information you provide.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the EMI for a £10,000 credit card with a 15% APR over 24 months:
| Loan Amount | £10,000 |
|---|---|
| APR | 15% |
| Loan Term | 24 months |
| Monthly Interest Rate | 1.25% (15%/12) |
| Calculated EMI | £462.50 |
| Total Interest Paid | £1,740 |
In this example, your monthly payment would be £462.50, with a total interest charge of £1,740 over the 24-month term.
