1. What is EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines your fixed monthly payment for a home loan, including both principal and interest components. In Las Vegas, this also typically includes property taxes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (USD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly payments (years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (USD)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment needed to fully amortize a loan over its term, accounting for compound interest.
