Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Equated Monthly Installment (EMI)?
An Equated Monthly Installment (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 fully paid off.
What is the formula used to calculate EMI?
EMI is computed using the standard reducing balance mathematical model: `EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N - 1]`, where `P` represents the Principal Loan Amount, `R` is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 * 100), and `N` is the loan tenure in months.
How does loan tenure affect total interest payable?
A longer loan tenure reduces your monthly EMI amount, making it easier on your monthly budget. However, it significantly increases the overall interest you pay over the lifetime of the loan, as the interest accumulates over a longer duration.
