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. It's commonly used for credit card EMI conversions and loans.

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 (INR)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (APR/12 as decimal)
\( N \) — Loan tenure in months
\( EMI \) — Equated monthly installment (INR)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest payment over the loan tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps in financial planning, comparing loan options, and understanding the total cost of credit.

4. Using the Calculator

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

A: Both use similar EMI calculation methods, but interest rates and processing fees may differ. Always compare the total repayment amount.

Q3: Can I prepay my EMI loan?
A: Most banks allow prepayment, but may charge a prepayment penalty (typically 2-5% of outstanding amount).

Q4: How does tenure affect EMI?
A: Longer tenure reduces EMI but increases total interest paid. Shorter tenure increases EMI but reduces total interest.
