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 credit card purchases in Malaysia, this allows cardholders 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 (MYR)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (APR / 12)
\( N \) — Loan tenure in months
\( EMI \) — Equated monthly installment (MYR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount that includes both principal and interest components spread evenly over the loan tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps credit card users plan their finances by understanding the monthly commitment before converting purchases to installment plans. It helps compare different tenure options and make informed decisions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the purchase amount in MYR, the annual interest rate (APR) of your HDFC credit card, and the desired tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.
