About the EMI Calculator

An EMI is a fixed monthly payment covering both interest and principal, sized so the loan clears exactly at the end of the term. Enter the principal, the annual rate and the tenure in months or years to get the instalment and the full cost of the loan.

Alongside the number you get the split that lenders rarely lead with: how much of the total you repay is interest rather than the sum you borrowed. On a long tenure at a high rate, interest can approach or exceed the principal itself. The tenure slider makes the trade-off visible, because stretching a loan lowers the monthly instalment while raising the total paid, and seeing both move together is the point of the tool.
