What is the EMI Calculator?
An EMI is the regular payment used to repay an amortising loan, combining principal and interest over an agreed term. The estimator converts principal, an annual interest rate and tenure into an indicative monthly instalment and total interest. It is a comparison aid, since an actual loan offer can include fees, changing rates or insurance.
How to use the EMI Calculator online?
Enter the proposed borrowed amount, annual interest rate and repayment term. Test alternative tenures and rates to see how monthly affordability and total interest move in opposite directions. Before borrowing, compare the estimate with the lender's annual percentage information, repayment schedule, prepayment conditions and any additional charges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What inputs affect EMI?
Principal, rate of interest and number of repayment periods determine the standard amortising instalment.
Does the estimate include processing charges?
No, unless explicitly stated; fees, insurance and taxes should be checked separately.
Why does a longer tenure increase interest?
The balance remains outstanding for more payment periods, so interest is charged for longer.
