About EMI & Loan Calculator
Each EMI payment is split between the **Principal repayment** (which reduces the outstanding loan balance) and the **Interest charge** (the cost of borrowing). As the loan matures, the interest portion gradually decreases while the principal portion increases.
Our EMI calculator uses the standard reducing balance loan amortization formula, giving you exact monthly payments, total interest payable, and the total cost of the loan over its entire tenure.
Mathematical Formula & Calculation Method
EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where P is the loan principal amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12 and then by 100), and n is the loan tenure in total months. The formula compounds the monthly interest factor over the entire tenure to create equal monthly payments.
| Variable | Definition / Parameter | Unit |

P |
Principal Loan Amount borrowed | Currency |
r |
Monthly Interest Rate (Annual Rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) | Decimal / Month |
n |
Tenure / Repayment Period in Months | Months |
EMI |
Equated Monthly Installment | Currency / Month |
Step-by-Step Calculation Examples
Car Loan EMI ($25,000 at 7.5% for 5 Years)
Scenario: You are taking an auto loan of $25,000 for 60 months at an annual interest rate of 7.5%.
- Principal (P): $25,000
- Annual Interest Rate: 7.5%
- Tenure: 60 Months (5 Years)
r = (7.5 / 12) / 100 = 0.00625 | n = 60 | EMI = [25000 × 0.00625 × (1.00625)^60] / [(1.00625)^60 - 1]
Home Mortgage EMI ($300,000 at 6.5% for 20 Years)
Scenario: Calculating the monthly mortgage installment on a $300,000 home loan.
- Principal (P): $300,000
- Annual Interest Rate: 6.5%
- Tenure: 240 Months (20 Years)
r = (6.5 / 12) / 100 = 0.0054167 | n = 240
