About this Tool
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay each month toward a home or personal loan. This calculator splits every payment into principal and interest, showing your monthly EMI, lifetime interest cost and a yearly payoff schedule.
Common Use Cases
Home Purchase
Test loan amounts and tenures to find a monthly EMI your budget can handle.
Personal Loan Check
See the true interest cost of short-tenure borrowing before signing.
Prepayment Planning
Use the yearly balance table to judge how lump-sum prepayments cut interest.
Lender Comparison
Compare EMIs across banks at different rates to pick the cheapest offer.
Pro Tips
- !
Shorter Tenure Saves Big
A 15-year loan costs far less interest than a 20-year one — if the higher EMI fits.
- !
Watch Early Years
Initial EMIs are mostly interest; prepaying early reduces the total dramatically.
- !
Keep EMI Under 40%
Lenders prefer total EMIs below ~40% of monthly income for safe approval odds.
Examples
2,500,000 home loan at 8.5% for 20 years
A 2,500,000 loan at 8.5% for 20 years means EMI 21,696 with total interest 2,706,939.
- Monthly rate r = 8.5/100/12 = 0.0070833 and months n = 20 x 12 = 240.
- EMI = 2,500,000 x 0.0070833 x 1.0070833^240 / (1.0070833^240 - 1) = 21,695.58, shown as 21,696 rounded.
- Total payable = 21,695.58 x 240 = 5,206,939.40, so total interest = 5,206,939.40 - 2,500,000 = 2,706,939.40.
500,000 loan at 9% for 7 years
A 500,000 loan at 9% for 7 years means EMI 8,045 with total interest 175,741.
- Monthly rate r = 9/100/12 = 0.0075 and months n = 7 x 12 = 84.
- EMI = 500,000 x 0.0075 x 1.0075^84 / (1.0075^84 - 1) = 8,044.54, shown as 8,045 rounded.
- Total payable = 8,044.54 x 84 = 675,741.29, so total interest = 675,741.29 - 500,000 = 175,741.29.
