What it is

An EMI is the fixed monthly payment on a loan. Early payments are mostly interest; later ones mostly repay the loan itself.

How it's worked out

EMI = P × i × (1 + i)ⁿ ÷ [(1 + i)ⁿ − 1], with P the loan, i the yearly rate ÷ 12 and n the months. Each month, interest is charged on what is still owed and the rest of the EMI cuts the balance.

What each input means

Good to know

A longer tenure lowers the EMI but raises the total interest a lot. Prepaying early saves the most interest. Processing fees and insurance are extra.

A quick example

₹50 lakh at 8.5% for 20 years: EMI about ₹43,391; you pay about ₹54 lakh in interest on top of the loan.
