How is EMI Calculated?

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ / ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)

Where P is the loan amount, r is the periodic interest rate (adjusted for compound and payback frequency), and n is the total number of payments. Every payment covers the month's interest first, then reduces the principal. That is why the interest portion decreases each month while the principal portion grows.

EMI Calculator FAQ

What is an EMI?▶

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay your lender every month until the loan is fully repaid. It includes both the principal and the interest portion.

Does the EMI amount stay the same every month?▶

For a fixed-rate loan, yes. The total EMI stays constant, but within each payment the interest portion decreases over time while the principal portion increases. This is shown in the amortization schedule above.

How can I reduce my total interest?▶

Make extra monthly or one-time payments. Every extra rupee reduces your principal directly, which cuts future interest and shortens the loan term.
