1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to repay a loan. For SBI credit cards, this helps plan purchases by breaking them into manageable monthly payments.

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 and interest components of the loan, with interest being front-loaded in the initial payments.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps credit card users plan purchases, understand repayment obligations, and compare different tenure options before converting purchases to EMI.

4. Using the Calculator

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