1. What is ICICI EMI Calculation?

The ICICI EMI calculation determines your monthly installment payments when converting credit card purchases into EMIs. It considers the principal amount, annual interest rate, and loan tenure to calculate fixed monthly payments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal amount (purchase amount converted to EMI)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (APR divided by 12)
• \( N \) — Loan tenure in months
• \( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount you need to pay each month to completely pay off your loan (including interest) over the specified tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Understanding your EMI helps in financial planning, comparing different loan options, and ensuring the installment fits your monthly budget before converting purchases to EMIs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount (purchase value), annual interest rate (check your ICICI credit card terms), and preferred tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.
