EMI Calculation Formula
The EMI formula is used to calculate the monthly loan installment based on the loan amount, interest rate, and repayment tenure.
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n ÷ [(1 + r)n − 1]
Where:
- P = Principal Loan Amount
- r = Monthly Interest Rate = Annual Rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100
- n = Total Number of Monthly Payments = Tenure × 12
Example
Loan Amount = ₹5,00,000
Interest Rate = 8.5% per year
Loan Tenure = 5 years
Monthly Rate = 8.5 ÷ 12 ÷ 100
Total Payments = 5 × 12 = 60 months
Monthly EMI = ₹10,258
Total Interest = ₹1,15,496
Total Payable = ₹6,15,496
The actual EMI may vary depending on the lender's terms, fees, and calculation method.
