1. What is the Yearly EMI Calculation?

The Yearly EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines the fixed yearly payment amount a borrower must make to pay off a home loan over the specified term, including both principal and interest components.

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 divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of monthly payments (loan term in years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Yearly payment amount (USD)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over its term, then multiplies by 12 to get the yearly amount.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Understanding your yearly EMI helps in financial planning, budgeting, and determining loan affordability before committing to a mortgage.

4. Using the Calculator

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