How is EMI Calculated

Banks use a standard compounding formula to determine your exact monthly repayment figure over the tenure of your loan.

EMI = [P x R x (1+R)n] / [(1+R)n - 1]
P
Principal Loan Amount
R
Monthly Interest Rate
n
Loan Tenure in Month

Example Calculation

For a ₹10 Lakhs loan at 10.5% interest over 5 years (60 months)

Principal (P)₹10,00,000
Monthly Rate (R)0.0875
Months (n)60
[10L x 0.00875 x (1.00875)60]
[(1.00875)60 - 1]
₹21,494Monthly EMI

Tips to Reduce EMI

Opt for a longer tenure to reduce monthly burden, though total interest will be higher
