1. What is SBI Personal Loan EMI?

The SBI Personal Loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to State Bank of India to repay their personal loan. The EMI 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 ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan term, calculating a fixed payment that pays off both principal and interest over time.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, plan their finances, and choose loan terms that fit their budget. SBI personal loans typically have interest rates starting at 10.49% p.a. for eligible customers.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (minimum 10.49%), and loan term in years (1-7 years). The calculator will show your monthly EMI, total repayment amount, and total interest payable.
