How to Use EMI / Loan Calculator
EMI / Loan Calculator Formula / How It Works
The calculator uses the reducing balance method to calculate equal installments by dividing annual rates by twelve and compounding them over the monthly repayment terms.
For example, let's look at a principal amount of $10,000, an annual interest rate of 5%, and a tenure of 3 years (36 months). By entering these values into the tool, you will get a monthly EMI of $299.71, total interest of $789.53, and a total repayment of $10,789.53 instantly.
