What is an Equated Monthly Installment (EMI)?
An EMI is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are applied to both interest and principal each month so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.
How Does EMI Calculation Work?
The mathematical formula used to calculate EMI is:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N – 1]
Where:
- P (Principal): The total original loan amount borrowed.
- R (Monthly Interest Rate): Annual interest rate divided by 12 months.
- N (Tenure): Total number of monthly installments.
Key Factors Influencing Your Loan Repayments
When taking loans for business growth, inventory sourcing, or personal needs:
- Loan Tenure: Choosing a longer tenure reduces your monthly EMI amount, but increases the total cumulative interest paid over time.
- Interest Rate: Even a 0.5% reduction in interest rate can save significant money over multi-year tenures.
- Pre-payments: Paying off extra principal early significantly cuts down long-term interest charges.
