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 HDFC personal loans in Bangladesh, EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (BDT)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12, as decimal)
• \( N \) — Loan tenure in months
• \( EMI \) — Equated monthly installment (BDT)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount that includes both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their monthly repayment obligations, plan their finances, and compare different loan options before committing to a personal loan.

4. Using the Calculator

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