How This Calculator Works

Enter your loan amount (principal), the annual interest rate as a percentage, and the loan tenure in years. The calculator converts the annual rate to a monthly rate and the tenure to the number of monthly payments, then applies the EMI formula. Your EMI stays fixed each month; the split between principal and interest changes over time, with early payments mostly interest.

Formula Used

EMI = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1], where P is principal, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of monthly installments (years × 12).

Example Calculation

For a $20,000 loan at 10% annual interest over 5 years: monthly rate r = 0.10/12 ≈ 0.00833, n = 60. The EMI is approximately $425. A $50,000 loan at 8% for 3 years yields about $1,567 per month.

When to Use This Calculator

Use this EMI calculator when planning a home loan, personal loan, car loan, or any fixed-rate loan. Compare different tenures and rates to see how they affect your monthly payment and total interest.

Frequently asked questions
