1. What is the Home Loan EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates your fixed monthly payment for an Axis Bank home loan in India. It considers the principal amount, interest rate, and loan tenure to determine your monthly repayment amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (₹)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan tenure in months (years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (₹)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of your home loan, with interest being higher in initial payments.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps in financial planning, determining affordable loan amounts, and comparing different loan offers from Axis Bank and other lenders in India.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in ₹ (minimum ₹1 lakh), annual interest rate (current Axis Bank home loan rates), and loan tenure (1-30 years). All values must be valid positive numbers.
