Loan EMI Formula:
| From: | To: |
The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to repay a loan. It includes both principal and interest components, with the interest portion higher at the beginning of the loan term.
The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:
Where:
Part Payment Handling: Additional payments can either reduce the EMI amount (keeping same term) or reduce the loan term (keeping same EMI).
Details: Making part payments can significantly reduce total interest paid over the life of the loan. Even small additional payments can have a large impact when applied early in the loan term.
Tips: Enter principal amount in USD, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in years. Optionally add a part payment amount and choose whether it should reduce your EMI or loan term.
Q1: Should I choose to reduce EMI or tenure with part payments?
A: Reducing tenure saves more interest overall, while reducing EMI improves monthly cash flow. Choose based on your financial priorities.
Q2: How often can I make part payments?
A: This depends on your loan terms. Some lenders allow unlimited part payments, while others may charge fees or have restrictions.
Q3: Are part payments applied immediately?
A: Typically yes, but check with your lender. The principal reduction should take effect from the next billing cycle.
Q4: Does this calculator account for loan fees?
A: No, it calculates based on principal amount only. For precise calculations, include any origination fees in the principal amount.
Q5: Why does my actual loan have slightly different numbers?
A: Lenders may use different rounding methods or have small variations in how they apply payments. This calculator provides estimates.
