1. What is SBI Home Loan EMI?

The SBI Home Loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to repay their home loan. It includes 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 tenure in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment needed to fully repay a loan over its term, accounting for compound interest.
