1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed payment amount a borrower pays each month to repay a loan. It's used by Tesco Bank and other financial institutions to determine loan repayments.

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, in decimal)
• \( N \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of the loan payment, with interest being front-loaded in the early payments.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their monthly 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 (e.g., 5.5 for 5.5%), and loan tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.
