Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) Calculator
Calculate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for personal loans, car loans, and mortgages.
Understanding EMIs
An Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.
How EMI Changes Over Time
While your EMI amount stays exactly the same every month, the mathematical breakdown changes. In the early months, a large portion of your EMI goes toward paying interest. As the loan matures, the interest portion shrinks and the principal portion grows.
Worked Example
- Principal Amount: $10,000
- Interest Rate: 10%
- Term: 60 Months (5 Years)
- EMI = $212.47 per month.
- Total Payment = $12,748.23
- Total Interest = $2,748.23.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does EMI include insurance or taxes?
No, standard EMI formulas only calculate the principal and interest of the loan. If you have a mortgage, your bank may add escrow for property taxes and insurance on top of your base EMI.
