How the EMI Calculator Works
The EMI calculator computes the monthly installment (EMI) required to pay off a loan based on the entered parameters.
For “Principal & Interest” repayment type:
- The EMI is calculated using the formula
[P * r * (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n – 1], wherePis the loan principal,ris the monthly interest rate, andnis the total number of monthly installments. - The total interest payable and the total payments are then computed using the EMI amount.
For “Interest Only” repayment type:
- The EMI is calculated by multiplying the principal with the monthly interest rate.
- The total interest payable is calculated by multiplying the number of payments by the monthly interest-only payment, and the total payment is the sum of the principal and the total interest payable.
Limitations of the EMI Calculator
- The calculator assumes a fixed interest rate and equal principal payments throughout the loan duration.
- It does not account for loan processing fees or any other charges which might be applicable.
- It assumes that payments are made monthly and at the same time each month.
