How EMI is Calculated

EMI Formula:

EMI=P×r×(1+r)n(1+r)n−1

  • P = Principal Loan Amount

  • r = Monthly Interest Rate (Annual Rate ÷ 12)

  • n = Loan Tenure in Months

Example Calculation:

  • Loan Amount (P): ₹10,00,000

  • Interest Rate: 9% p.a.

  • Tenure: 5 years (60 months)

Step 1: Convert annual rate to monthly rate

r=9%12=0.0075 (0.75% per month)

Step 2: Apply EMI formula

EMI=10,00,000×0.0075×(1+0.0075)60(1+0.0075)60−1≈∗∗₹20,758∗∗

Total Interest Payable:

(₹20,758×60)−₹10,00,000=∗∗₹2,45,480∗∗
