Q: How to calculate EMI for a loan?Answer
A:
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed monthly amount you pay to the lender to repay your loan over a specified tenure. It includes both principal and interest.
Where:
P = Principal loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
n = Loan tenure in months
Convert annual interest rate to monthly rate:
For example, if the annual interest rate is 12%, monthly rate (i.e., 1%).
Calculate the total number of monthly installments:
For a 5-year loan, months.
Plug values into the formula:
Suppose you borrow ₹5,00,000 at 12% per annum for 5 years:
Calculate the numerator and denominator:
Numerator =
Denominator =
Solve to get EMI amount
Loan Amount: ₹5,00,000
Annual Interest Rate: 12%
Tenure: 5 years (60 months)
Monthly Interest Rate: 1% (12%/12)
Calculating EMI gives approximately ₹11,122 per month.
