How Loan EMI is Calculated

Whether you have a home loan, car loan, or personal loan, the EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is calculated using the standard reducing-balance formula:

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ / ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)

VariableMeaning
PPrincipal loan amount
rMonthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
nTotal number of monthly instalments

Frequently Asked Questions

Enter your home loan amount, annual interest rate, and loan tenure above to get your monthly EMI instantly. For example: a $400,000 home loan at 6.5% over 25 years gives a monthly EMI of about $2,694, with total interest of around $408,200 over the loan term. The amortization schedule shows how each payment splits between principal and interest.
The EMI formula is the same for car loans, personal loans, and home loans — the main differences are the interest rate and tenure. Car loans typically run 3–7 years at rates of 5–12%. Personal loans usually have shorter tenures (1–5 years) and higher rates (8–20%). Home loans offer the longest tenures (up to 30 years) and lowest rates. Use this calculator for any loan type by simply entering the relevant figures.
You can reduce your monthly EMI by: (1) making a larger down payment to reduce the principal, (2) choosing a longer repayment tenure, or (3) negotiating a lower interest rate. Note that a longer tenure lowers the EMI but significantly increases total interest paid. Use the calculator to compare scenarios — try extending the tenure by 5 years and see how it affects both the EMI and total interest.
