How EMI is Calculated

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay every month to repay a loan.

It includes both principal and interest.


EMI Formula

EMI = P × R × (1+R)^N / ((1+R)^N − 1)


Example (₹1 Lakh Loan)

If you take a loan of ₹1,00,000 at 10% interest for 2 years, your EMI will be calculated based on interest and tenure.

Longer tenure = lower EMI but higher total interest.
