How is EMI calculated?
Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is calculated using the formula:
E = P x R x (1+R)^N / [(1+R)^N-1]
where P is Principal, R is monthly interest rate, and N is tenure in months.
Factors affecting your EMI
- Loan Amount: Higher loan means higher EMI.
- Interest Rate: A higher rate increases your monthly payout and total interest cost.
- Tenure: Longer tenure reduces your monthly EMI but increases the total interest you pay over time.
Tip to save money
Making one extra EMI payment every year can reduce your loan tenure by years and save you lakhs in interest!
