💡 EMI Calculator Guide

Learn how EMIs work, how tenure and rates impact cost, and smart strategies to save interest.

💰

Understanding EMI

Each EMI has two parts: principal (loan repayment) and interest (lender's charge). Early on, 70-80% goes to interest; later, most goes to principal. As your balance decreases, interest decreases too. This is why prepaying early saves the most.

⏱️

Tenure Impact

Longer tenure = lower EMI but much higher total interest. Example: ₹10L loan at 9% for 5 years costs ₹2.5L interest vs 10 years costs ₹5.2L interest — double! Choose the shortest tenure you can afford comfortably.

🎯

Rate Matters

Small rate differences = big savings. On a ₹20L/20yr loan, reducing rate from 9% to 8.5% saves ₹1.2L in interest. Always compare 3-4 lenders. Check if fixed or floating (MCLR-linked) suits you better. Even 0.25% matters over long tenures.

Smart Strategies

Keep EMIs below 40-50% of income. Prepay in first 5 years for maximum impact — ₹1L prepayment in year 2 can save ₹2-3L interest. Choose "reduce tenure" option when prepaying. Maintain 6-month EMI emergency buffer. Avoid multiple loans simultaneously.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

💡 What is EMI and how is it calculated?

EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is a fixed monthly payment made to repay a loan. It includes both principal and interest components. It’s calculated using the formula: EMI = [P × R × (1 + R)^N] / [(1 + R)^N − 1] where P = Loan Amount, R = Monthly Interest Rate, and N = Loan Tenure (months).

📈 How does the EMI change with tenure and interest rate?

A higher interest rate or longer tenure increases the total cost of your loan. Reducing tenure increases your EMI but saves significant interest overall.

🏠 Can I use this calculator for all types of loans?

Yes! You can calculate EMIs for home loans, car/vehicle loans, and personal loans instantly by selecting the appropriate tab at the top.

💰 Why does the total payment exceed the loan amount?

Because each EMI includes an interest portion. Over the tenure, you pay back your loan amount (principal) plus total interest charged by your lender.

📆 Can EMIs change over time?

For fixed-rate loans, your EMI stays constant throughout. For floating-rate loans, the EMI or tenure may adjust when the bank revises rates.

📊 What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule is a detailed breakdown showing how each EMI splits between interest and principal, and the remaining balance after every payment. Our calculator displays this in a year-wise grouped format - click on any year to expand and see the month-by-month details for that year.

📄 Can I download my EMI schedule as a report?

Yes! You can download the full amortization schedule as a PDF or Excel file for record-keeping or analysis. The download includes all monthly details with interest, principal, and outstanding balance for each month of your loan.

⚠️ Are the results accurate?

Results are approximate and for guidance only. Actual EMIs depend on your lender’s rounding method, rate changes, and loan type. Always confirm with your bank before making financial decisions.
