EMI Calculator

An EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculator computes the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan — principal plus interest — over a chosen tenure.

Formula

EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n − 1], where P is the loan principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of monthly installments.

Worked example

Input: ₹40 lakh home loan at 9% annual interest for 20 years

Result: EMI ≈ ₹35,988/month; total interest paid ≈ ₹46.37 lakh over the tenure

Frequently asked

Why is the total interest so much higher than the principal on a long loan?

Interest compounds on the outstanding balance every month; a longer tenure means more months of interest accrual, even though the EMI itself is lower.

Does a shorter tenure always save money?

Yes on total interest, but it raises the EMI — the Loan Prepayment Calculator shows the middle path of keeping your tenure but paying extra toward principal.

EMI Calculator: how it works

An EMI calculator gives the fixed monthly instalment on a loan, splitting each payment into interest and principal over the tenure.

Formula

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n − 1), where P is the loan amount, r the monthly interest rate and n the number of months.
