EMI Calculator – How Is Loan EMI Calculated?

EMI = P × r × (1+r)n ÷ ((1+r)n − 1), where P is the loan principal, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of monthly instalments. The EMI stays fixed each month, but the interest portion falls and the principal portion rises over the loan term.

Worked example

A ₹25,00,000 home loan at 8.5% annual interest for 20 years (240 months) gives an EMI of ₹21,696/month. Total payment over the loan is ₹52,06,939, of which ₹27,06,939 is interest.
