From: | To: |
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month so that over a specified number of years, the loan is fully paid off along with interest.
The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount that includes both principal repayment and interest charges.
Details: Understanding your EMI helps in financial planning, comparing loan offers, and ensuring the monthly payment fits within your budget before committing to a loan.
Tips: Enter the principal amount in USD, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in months. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What factors affect my EMI amount?
A: EMI depends on three main factors: loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. Higher amounts or rates increase EMI, while longer tenures reduce EMI.
Q2: How does prepayment affect my EMI?
A: Prepayment reduces your principal amount, which can either lower your EMI or shorten your loan tenure, depending on the terms.
Q3: Are there any hidden charges in EMI?
A: This calculator shows only principal and interest. Actual loans may include processing fees, insurance, or other charges not reflected here.
Q4: What's better - longer tenure with lower EMI or shorter tenure with higher EMI?
A: Shorter tenures mean less total interest paid but higher EMIs. Choose based on your monthly cash flow and total cost preference.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator for 2025 loans?
A: This uses standard EMI calculation methods valid for fixed-rate loans in 2025. For variable-rate loans, consult your lender.
