How EMI is Calculated

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is calculated using the reducing balance method. Each EMI payment includes both principal and interest components. As you pay down the loan, the interest portion decreases while the principal portion increases.

EMI Formula

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 months

Example Calculation

Example

Loan Amount: ₹10,00,000

Interest Rate: 10.5% per annum

Tenure: 10 years (120 months)

Monthly EMI: ₹13,493

Total Interest: ₹6,19,160

Total Payment: ₹16,19,160

Useful Tips

  • Shorter loan tenures mean higher EMIs but lower total interest
  • Making prepayments or part-payments reduces your outstanding principal and total interest
  • Compare interest rates from multiple lenders before finalizing a loan

Frequently Asked Questions

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment. It's the fixed amount you pay each month to repay a loan over a specified period. Each EMI contains both principal repayment and interest payment.

You can reduce your EMI by: (1) Extending the loan tenure, (2) Making a larger down payment to reduce the principal, (3) Negotiating a lower interest rate, or (4) Transferring the loan to a lender offering lower rates.

For fixed-rate loans, EMI remains constant throughout the tenure. For floating-rate loans, EMI can change when the interest rate changes. Some lenders adjust the EMI amount while others adjust the tenure.
