Guide: How It Works

EMI = Pยทrยท(1+r)โฟ รท ((1+r)โฟ โˆ’ 1), where r is the monthly interest rate and n is the number of installments

Important Notes

  • This uses the reducing-balance method, the standard approach for bank and NBFC loans
  • A larger portion of early EMIs goes toward interest, with the principal share increasing over time
  • A longer tenure lowers the EMI but increases total interest paid
  • The month-wise schedule shows exactly how the interest/principal split shifts across the loan tenure

Who Is This Calculator For?

  • Home and car loan borrowers
  • Personal loan applicants
