1. What is LIC Home Loan EMI?

The LIC Home Loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to repay their home loan from LIC. It consists of 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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that will completely pay off the loan over its term, accounting for compound interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Knowing your EMI helps in financial planning, assessing loan affordability, and comparing different loan options before committing to a home loan.

4. Using the Calculator

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