1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to a lender each month. It's used for Tesco Bank loans in the UK to determine monthly repayment amounts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (GBP)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12, as decimal)
• \( N \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of the loan, with payments structured so the loan is paid off in full by the end of the term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, compare loan offers, and plan their finances accordingly.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in GBP, annual interest rate as a percentage, and loan tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.
