Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to completely pay off a loan over its term at a constant interest rate.
Details: In the initial years, a larger portion of your EMI goes toward interest payments. As the loan matures, more of your payment is applied to the principal. This calculator shows this amortization schedule.
Tips: Enter loan amount in INR, SBI's current interest rate (starting at 7.50% p.a.), and loan tenure in years. The calculator will show your EMI, total interest, and complete amortization schedule.
