How is EMI on Loan Calculated?

Formula for EMI Calculation is -

P x R x (1+R)^N / [(1+R)^N-1] where-

P = Principal loan amount

N = Loan tenure in months

R = Monthly interest rate

The rate of interest (R) on your loan is calculated per month.

R = Annual Rate of interest/12/100

If rate of interest is 7.2% p.a. then r = 7.2/12/100 = 0.006

For example, If a person avails a loan of ₹10,00,000 at an annual interest rate of 7.2% for a tenure of 120 months (10 years), then his EMI will be calculated as under:

EMI= ₹10,00,000 * 0.006 * (1 + 0.006)120 / ((1 + 0.006)120 - 1) = ₹11,714.

The total amount payable will be ₹11,714 * 120 = ₹14,05,703. Principal loan amount is ₹10,00,000 and the Interest amount will be ₹4,05,703
