EMI Calculator
Estimate your monthly loan EMI, total interest, and total payable amount. Use it for planning, not as a final lender quote.
What is EMI?
EMI means Equated Monthly Instalment. It is the amount you pay every month to repay a loan. EMI usually includes both principal repayment and interest.
How EMI is calculated
This calculator uses the standard EMI formula based on loan amount, monthly interest rate, and number of monthly payments. It gives an estimate for planning. Your lender may include fees, insurance, taxes, or different rate rules.
Example: Rs. 5,00,000 loan for 5 years
If you take a Rs. 5,00,000 loan for 5 years at an assumed 8.5% annual interest rate, the estimated EMI is about Rs. 10,258 per month. The total payable can be around Rs. 6.15 lakh. This is only an illustration, not a lender quote.
Short tenure vs long tenure
Short tenure
EMI is higher, but total interest is usually lower because the loan is repaid faster.
Long tenure
EMI is lower, but total interest is usually higher because the loan runs for more months.
Common loan mistakes beginners make
- Choosing the longest tenure only to reduce EMI without checking total interest.
- Ignoring processing fees, insurance, and other loan charges.
- Taking an EMI that leaves no room for emergency expenses.
- Comparing loans only by EMI and not by total payable amount.
- Not checking prepayment and foreclosure rules before taking the loan.
