This EMI calculator helps you quickly compute your monthly loan payments and interest costs.
How to Use the EMI Calculator
To use the EMI calculator, simply enter the following values:
- Loan Amount (in AUD): The total amount you wish to borrow.
- Annual Interest Rate (%): The annual interest rate of the loan.
- Loan Term (in years): The duration for which you will be repaying the loan.
- Repayment Type: Choose whether the repayment will be for Principal & Interest or Interest Only.
After entering all the values, click on the ‘Calculate’ button to see the results.
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]
, whereP
is the loan principal,r
is the monthly interest rate, andn
is 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.
