1. What is Home Loan EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. For Indian Bank home loans in Kerala, EMI payments are used to pay off both principal and interest each month.

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 tenure in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would pay off the loan with interest over the specified term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, plan finances, and choose the right loan tenure based on their repayment capacity.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (as offered by Indian Bank), and loan tenure in years. All values must be positive numbers.
