1. What is the BOI Home Loan EMI Calculator?

The Bank of India Home Loan EMI Calculator helps you estimate your monthly Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) payments for a home loan based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan tenure.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and converted to decimal)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount required each month to pay off the loan over the specified term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps in financial planning, loan comparison, and determining affordable loan amounts based on your monthly budget.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in INR, annual interest rate (as offered by BOI), and loan term in years. The calculator will show your monthly EMI, total repayment amount, and total interest payable.
