Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about EMI calculations.
What is EMI and how is it calculated?
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay each month to repay a loan over its tenure. It is calculated using the formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1), where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of months.
Does prepayment reduce EMI or tenure?
Most banks let you choose — you can either reduce your EMI while keeping the same tenure, or keep the same EMI and reduce the tenure. Reducing tenure saves more interest in the long run.
What is the difference between flat rate and reducing balance EMI?
Flat rate calculates interest on the full principal throughout the tenure. Reducing balance (used by most Indian banks) calculates interest only on the outstanding amount, making it cheaper. This calculator uses the reducing balance method.
How does a home loan EMI compare to a personal loan EMI?
Home loans have longer tenures (up to 30 years) and lower rates (typically 8–10%), resulting in a lower EMI per lakh. Personal loans have shorter tenures (up to 5 years) and higher rates (12–24%), so the EMI per lakh is significantly higher.
Understanding your home loan EMI
An EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay every month to repay a loan. It consists of two components: the principal (the amount borrowed) and the interest (the cost of borrowing). In the early months of a loan, most of your EMI goes toward interest. As the loan matures, the principal component increases.
For a ₹50 lakh home loan at 8.5% for 20 years, your monthly EMI is approximately ₹43,391. Over 20 years, you pay ₹1.04 crore in total — meaning ₹54 lakh is pure interest. This is why understanding your amortisation schedule and making prepayments early can save you lakhs.
Indian banks use the reducing balance method for EMI calculation, which means interest is charged only on the outstanding principal — not the original loan amount. This is more borrower-friendly than the flat rate method used by some NBFCs.
