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. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month so that over time, the loan is paid off in full.

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 (₹)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12, in decimal)
\( N \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would completely pay off the loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.
