1. What is SBI Personal Loan EMI Calculation?

The SBI Personal Loan EMI calculator helps you determine your monthly installment payments based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term. The formula accounts for reducing balance interest calculation.

2. How Does the Prepayment Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula with prepayment adjustment:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly installments

Prepayment Adjustment: When you make a prepayment, the calculator recalculates the EMI based on the reduced principal and remaining term.

3. Importance of Prepayment Calculation

Details: Prepayments can significantly reduce your total interest burden and loan tenure. This calculator helps you visualize the impact of prepayments on your loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, loan term in years. For prepayment, specify the amount and after how many months you plan to prepay.
