How EMI is Calculated
Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is the fixed payment amount you need to pay each month to repay a loan. It includes both the principal amount and the interest for that period.
The EMI calculation takes into account the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. The formula accounts for the fact that each payment covers both the interest on the remaining balance and a portion of the principal.
EMI Formula
The standard EMI formula is:
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 (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that will fully amortize the loan over the term, including all interest charges.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the EMI for a $200,000 loan at 7.5% annual interest for 20 years:
- Convert annual rate to monthly: 7.5% ÷ 12 = 0.625% or 0.00625
- Calculate number of payments: 20 × 12 = 240
- Plug into formula: EMI = 200,000 × 0.00625 × (1.00625)^240 / [(1.00625)^240 - 1]
- Calculate: EMI ≈ $1,389.67 per month
This means you would pay approximately $1,389.67 each month for 240 months to repay the $200,000 loan.
