1. What is EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. For credit cards, EMI options allow you to convert large purchases into manageable monthly payments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

\[ EMI = \frac{P \times R \times (1+R)^N}{(1+R)^N - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (₹)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12, in decimal)
\( N \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan period to calculate equal monthly payments that will pay off the entire loan (principal + interest) by the end of the tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps you plan your finances, compare different credit card EMI options, and choose a repayment plan that fits your budget without straining your monthly expenses.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in ₹, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.
