1. What is House Loan EMI?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to a lender each month to repay a house loan. It includes 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)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment (EMI) amount

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off a loan over its term, accounting for compound interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers understand their monthly obligations, plan their finances, and compare different loan offers.

4. Using the Calculator

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