What is EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay each month on a loan. Part of it covers interest on the outstanding balance and part reduces the principal—this calculator uses the common reducing-balance method.
How to Calculate EMI
First convert the yearly interest rate to a monthly rate by dividing by 12 (and by 100 if the rate is in percent). Let N be the number of months. Then EMI is P × R × (1+R)^N / ((1+R)^N − 1). If the rate is zero, EMI is simply the principal divided by the number of months.
