EMI Formula and How It Works
The standard EMI formula used by all banks and financial institutions is:
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount (₹)
- r = Monthly interest rate = Annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100
- n = Loan tenure in months
Total Payment and Total Interest
Why Tenure Matters
On a ₹50 lakh home loan at 9% p.a., a 20-year tenure costs ₹49.8 lakh in interest versus ₹23.8 lakh for a 10-year tenure. Choosing a shorter tenure saves over ₹26 lakh in interest.
Example Calculation
This shows why comparing loan tenures carefully before signing is so important.
