This tool calculates your monthly EMI and other loan details for SBI loans.
How to Use the SBI EMI Calculator
To use the EMI calculator, follow these steps:
- Enter the principal amount of the loan in the “Principal Amount” field.
- Enter the annual interest rate (in percentage) in the “Annual Interest Rate” field.
- Enter the loan term in years in the “Loan Term” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to compute the EMI and other details.
How the EMI Calculator Works
The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is calculated using the following formula:
EMI = [P * r * (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n – 1]
- P is the principal loan amount.
- r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12).
- n is the number of monthly installments (loan term in years multiplied by 12).
The total repayment amount and the total interest payable are also calculated based on the EMI value.
Limitations
This EMI calculator assumes a fixed interest rate for the entire term of the loan. If you have a loan with a variable interest rate, the actual EMI may differ. Additionally, this calculator does not account for any additional fees or charges that may be associated with the loan.
