How is EMI calculated?

EMI is calculated using the formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1), where P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of monthly installments.

What is a good interest rate for home loan in India?

🧮 How This Calculator Works

Inputs:

Loan Amount (P): Principal borrowed
Interest Rate (r): Annual rate, converted to monthly (r/12)
Tenure (n): Years × 12 = months

Formula (Reducing Balance):

EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / [(1+r)ⁿ - 1]

Interpretation:

Monthly EMI: Fixed amount you pay each month.
Total Interest: (EMI × n) - P = cost of borrowing.
Total Payable: Principal + Interest = full repayment.

Reducing balance = interest charged only on outstanding principal, not original amount.
