1. What is HDFC Insta Loan EMI?

The HDFC Insta Loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to repay the loan. It includes both principal and interest components, calculated using a standard amortization formula.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

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 calculates the fixed monthly payment that would completely pay off the loan over its term, accounting for compound interest.

3. Understanding EMI Calculation

Details: Each EMI payment includes both interest and principal repayment. Early payments have a higher interest component, while later payments have more principal repayment.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in INR, annual interest rate (APR) in percentage, and loan tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.
