1. What is the HSBC Personal Loan Calculator?

The HSBC Personal Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for personal loans in India. It uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate your EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) based on loan amount, interest rate, and term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Loan principal amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in months)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (INR)

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

3. Importance of Loan Calculation

Details: Calculating your EMI beforehand helps with financial planning, budgeting, and comparing different loan offers from HSBC and other banks.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in INR, annual interest rate (HSBC's current rates), and loan term in months (6-84 months typical for personal loans). All values must be positive numbers.
