How EMI is Calculated
Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. Equated monthly installments are applied to both interest and principal each month so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.
The standard mathematical formula used to calculate EMI is:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N - 1]
- P = Principal loan amount
- R = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
- N = Loan duration in months
In the initial years of your loan, a larger portion of your EMI goes toward paying the interest. As you continue making payments, the interest component decreases and the principal component increases. This process is fully detailed in the Amortization Schedule table above.
