An EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculator determines the fixed monthly payment you'll make on a loan. Each EMI payment consists of two parts: interest on the outstanding balance and repayment of the principal. The EMI remains constant throughout the loan term, but the proportion of interest vs. principal changes — early payments are interest-heavy, while later payments pay down more principal.
Formula
EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / [(1+r)^n - 1]
Where EMI = monthly payment, P = loan principal, r = monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), and n = total number of monthly payments.
A fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each month. EMIs cover both interest and principal repayment, ensuring the loan is fully paid off by the end of the term.
Each EMI payment is split between principal (reducing your loan balance) and interest (the cost of borrowing). Early in the loan, most of your payment goes to interest. Over time, more goes to principal as the balance decreases.
The total duration of the loan in months or years. A longer tenure means lower EMIs but more total interest paid. A shorter tenure means higher EMIs but significant interest savings.
Making extra payments beyond your regular EMI to pay off the loan faster. Prepayments directly reduce the principal, which reduces future interest charges. Some loans have prepayment penalties — check your loan terms.
