Loan & EMI Calculator – Estimate Monthly Installments & Interest
Taking out a loan is a major commitment. If you don't calculate the total interest cost upfront, you can end up overpaying. This EMI calculator helps you analyze loan offers and understand amortization schedules.
Calculate monthly loan installments (EMI), total interest paid, and repayment schedules. Input loan principal, interest rate, and term. Access Amortization calculations and compound interest tables.
How to Use the loan calculator
This tool calculates monthly payments using the standard reducing balance loan formula, displaying principal vs. interest components.
- 1Enter the total loan amount (principal) you wish to borrow in the first field.
- 2Input the annual interest rate (e.g. 5.5) and choose the repayment term in years or months.
- 3Review the monthly payment (EMI), the total interest to be paid, and the overall cost of the loan.
The Amortization Loan Formula
Monthly EMI is computed using compound interest divided by the present value annuity factor.
EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n − 1]
where P = Principal, r = monthly interest rate, n = loan term in monthsCommon Reference Values & Comparisons
