EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed monthly payment you make to repay a loan. Before you take any loan in India — whether it is a home loan, car loan or personal loan — calculating the EMI in advance helps you plan your monthly budget accurately. Our free EMI calculator covers all loan types with a full repayment schedule.
How EMI Is Calculated
The EMI formula is: EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n – 1) where P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of monthly instalments. Our calculator handles this automatically — just enter your loan amount, interest rate and tenure.
