What is EMI?
EMI is the fixed monthly payment that includes both principal and interest. The amount depends on three variables: loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure.
EMI formula (simple breakdown)
EMI = P ร r ร (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n โ 1)
Where P is principal, r is monthly interest rate, and n is number of monthly payments.
Understanding amortization
In the early months, most of your EMI goes toward interest. Over time, the principal portion grows. A good monthly loan payment calculator helps you see this shift clearly.

- โข Refinance if rates drop significantly.
