Formula & Calculation Method
The standard EMI formula is: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n − 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100
- n = Total number of monthly instalments = Loan tenure in years × 12
For a ₹30 lakh loan at 8.5% annual interest for 20 years: r = 8.5/12/100 = 0.007083, n = 240. EMI = 30,00,000 × 0.007083 × (1.007083)^240 / ((1.007083)^240 − 1) ≈ ₹26,035 per month.
Example Calculation
Example 1 — Home Loan: ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% interest for 20 years → EMI ≈ ₹43,391/month. Total payment ≈ ₹1.04 crore. Total interest ≈ ₹54 lakh.
Example 2 — Car Loan: ₹8 lakh loan at 9% interest for 5 years → EMI ≈ ₹16,607/month. Total payment ≈ ₹9.96 lakh. Total interest ≈ ₹1.96 lakh.
Example 3 — Personal Loan: ₹3 lakh loan at 13% interest for 3 years → EMI ≈ ₹10,113/month. Total payment ≈ ₹3.64 lakh. Total interest ≈ ₹64,068.
