1. What is the EMI Calculation?

The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) calculation determines the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to repay a home loan. Bank staff often receive preferential interest rates as part of their employment benefits.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula with staff-specific adjustments:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (USD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (USD)

Bank Staff Adjustment: Preferred staff receive an additional 0.25% discount on the standard interest rate.

3. Bank Staff Benefits

Details: Bank employees typically enjoy lower interest rates, reduced processing fees, and flexible repayment terms compared to regular customers.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in USD, annual interest rate in percentage, loan term in years, and select your staff type. All values must be positive numbers.
