How EMI is Calculated: A Simple Guide

Ever wondered how your EMI is calculated? This guide breaks down the math behind your monthly loan payments.

# Understanding EMI Calculations

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment you make each month to repay your loan. Let's understand how it works.

The EMI Formula

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

• P = Principal loan amount
• r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100)
• n = Loan tenure in months

Example Calculation

• P = 10,00,000
• r = 10/12/100 = 0.00833
• n = 60 months

EMI = ₹21,247

Components of EMI

• Principal Component - The actual loan repayment
• Interest Component - The cost of borrowing

In the early months, interest forms the major portion. This gradually shifts towards principal over time.

Factors Affecting EMI

Loan Amount Higher principal = Higher EMI

Interest Rate Even 0.5% difference significantly impacts total cost

Tenure Longer tenure = Lower EMI but higher total interest
