1. What is ICICI Bank Home Loan EMI?

The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is the fixed payment amount a borrower pays to ICICI Bank each month to repay their home 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 (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and converted to decimal)
• \( n \) — Loan tenure in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would completely pay off the loan over its term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, plan their finances, and choose the right loan amount and tenure.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (ICICI Bank's current rates start at 6.70% p.a.), and loan tenure in years (up to 30 years).
