1. What is EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines your fixed monthly payment for a home loan. It includes both principal and interest components, calculated using the standard amortization formula.

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 ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months (years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan term, distributing payments equally each month.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers plan their finances, compare loan offers, and understand the total cost of borrowing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
