EMI Calculation Formula
The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) for a credit card purchase is calculated using the following formula:
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
- P = Principal amount (purchase amount)
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of monthly installments (tenure in months)
This formula accounts for the interest you'll pay over the loan period, giving you an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.
