EMI Calculator
Free online EMI calculator. Calculate your Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) from loan amount, interest rate and tenure — with total interest and total payment breakdown.
What exactly is an EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed monthly amount that fully repays a loan, interest included, over its tenure — the standard structure for home, car and personal loans across South Asia and beyond. The formula is the same amortisation math used worldwide: P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1).
The three levers are amount, rate and tenure. Extending tenure lowers the monthly EMI but raises total interest substantially — a 20-year loan at 8.5% costs roughly double its principal in total payments.

Frequently asked questions
- What is an EMI?
- EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay every month toward a loan. Each EMI contains both interest and principal repayment.
- How can I reduce my EMI?
- Three ways: borrow less, negotiate a lower interest rate, or extend the tenure. Note that a longer tenure lowers the EMI but increases the total interest paid.
- Is the EMI formula the same as a loan payment?
- Yes — EMI uses the same amortisation formula used for fixed-rate loans worldwide: P × r × (1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1).
