1. What is Personal Loan EMI with GST?

The Personal Loan EMI Calculator with GST computes your monthly loan payments including the 18% GST charged on the interest portion of your EMI. This gives you a complete picture of your actual monthly repayment amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (Rs)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
• \( N \) — Loan tenure in months
• \( I \) — Interest portion of the EMI
• \( GST\ Rate \) — 18% (0.18) on the interest component

Explanation: The formula calculates the standard EMI first, then adds the GST amount calculated on the interest portion of each EMI.
