Formula Explained

The calculation for the Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is based on a standard mathematical formula that ensures your loan is fully paid off by the end of its term through fixed monthly payments. Understanding this can help you see how lenders determine your payment amount.

Here’s a breakdown of each component:

• P: Principal Loan Amount – This is the initial amount of money you borrow from the lender.
• r: Monthly Interest Rate – This is the annual interest rate divided by 12. Lenders quote an annual rate, but since EMIs are paid monthly, the calculation uses the monthly rate. For example, a 6% annual rate becomes 0.5% (or 0.005) per month.
• n: Number of Monthly Installments – This is the total loan tenure in months. For a 30-year loan, ‘n’ would be 30 × 12 = 360.

The formula essentially calculates the present value of an annuity, ensuring that each fixed monthly payment covers both the interest accrued for that month and a portion of the principal. In the early years of the loan, a larger portion of your EMI goes towards interest. As the principal balance decreases over time, more of your payment shifts towards paying down the principal.
