How EMI works
An EMI (equated monthly installment) is a fixed monthly payment that covers both interest and principal so the loan retires exactly at the end of its tenure. Early payments are mostly interest; later payments are mostly principal.
The standard formula is: EMI = P · r · (1+r)n / ((1+r)n − 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of months.
A prepayment reduces the outstanding balance immediately, so future interest is charged on a smaller number. Even small monthly extras compound dramatically over a long loan.
FAQ
- How is EMI calculated?
- EMI = P · r · (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), where P is the loan principal, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of months. When the rate is zero, EMI is simply principal ÷ months.
- How do prepayments save interest?
- Each prepayment reduces the outstanding balance immediately. Future interest is charged only on the smaller balance, so even small recurring prepayments can shave years off the loan and save a large chunk of total interest.
- What's the difference between monthly and yearly prepayment?
- A monthly prepayment is an extra amount paid alongside every EMI. A yearly prepayment is a one-time lump sum applied once every 12 months — useful for bonus or tax-refund money. You can use both together.
- Which currencies are supported?
- USD, INR, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, SGD, AED, NZD. The math is currency-agnostic; the picker controls how amounts are displayed (₹ uses Indian lakh/crore grouping, $/£/€ use thousands grouping, etc.).
- Are my numbers stored anywhere?
- No. The calculator runs against a stateless API and your inputs are saved only in your browser's local storage so they survive a page refresh on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere except the calculation request itself.
