EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment. It is a fixed amount that a borrower pays to a lender at a specified date each month until the loan is fully paid off. It consists of both the principal amount and the interest component.
Our calculator uses the standard mathematical formula: [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1]. Here, P is the Principal loan amount, R is the monthly interest rate, and N is the number of monthly installments (tenure).
An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that make up each payment until the loan is paid off at the end of its term.
You can reduce your monthly EMI by choosing a longer loan tenure, making a higher initial down payment, or negotiating a lower interest rate with your bank or financial institution.
