What is EMI Calculator?
An Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) is the fixed amount you pay every month to repay a loan — home loan, car loan, personal loan, or education loan. An EMI calculator computes your monthly payment using the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure.
Your EMI includes both the principal repayment and the interest component. In the early years, a larger portion goes towards interest; over time, the principal share increases.
How does the EMI Calculator work?
Where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), and n is the number of monthly instalments (tenure in years × 12).
The calculator also shows the total interest payable and the total amount you will repay over the loan tenure.

- Enter the annual interest rate offered by the lender.

Frequently Asked Questions
What factors affect my EMI?
Your EMI depends on three factors: the loan amount, the interest rate, and the loan tenure. A higher loan amount or interest rate increases the EMI, while a longer tenure reduces it.
Can I prepay my loan to reduce EMI?
Yes, partial prepayment reduces the outstanding principal, which lowers your total interest. Some lenders charge a prepayment penalty, so check your loan terms.
What is the difference between fixed and floating interest rates?
A fixed rate stays the same for the entire tenure, while a floating rate changes with market conditions. Floating rates are usually lower initially but carry uncertainty.
Interest rates and fees add up quietly. Let the EMI Calculator spell the figures out, and you will walk into any loan or investment conversation prepared.
