Understanding Your EMI
What is EMI? EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.
EMI Formula:
EMI = [P ร r ร (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]
EMI = [P ร r ร (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]
Where:
P = Loan amount (principal)
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate รท 12)
n = Loan tenure in months
P = Loan amount (principal)
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate รท 12)
n = Loan tenure in months
๐ก Pro Tip: Making prepayments can significantly reduce your total interest paid and shorten your loan tenure!
