What is the EMI Calculator?
The emi calculator is a free online tool that helps you work out emi quickly and accurately. It uses the standard formula EMI = P x r x (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1), where r = monthly rate, n = months and shows the result instantly as you type, along with a full breakdown so you can see exactly how the answer was reached.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the loan amount (principal).
- Enter the annual interest rate.
- Enter the loan tenure in years.
- Read your monthly EMI, total interest and total payment.
Formula used
EMI = P x r x (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1), where r = monthly rate, n = monthsExplanation of each input
- Loan amount โ the loan amount used in the calculation.
- Annual interest rate (%) โ the annual interest rate used in the calculation.
- Loan tenure (years) โ the loan tenure used in the calculation.
Understanding your result
- Monthly EMI โ the calculated monthly emi.
- Total interest โ the calculated total interest.
- Total payment โ the calculated total payment.
Step-by-step calculation
For the example values P = 1000000, rate = 9%, tenure = 10 years:
- Apply the formula:
EMI = P x r x (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1), where r = monthly rate, n = months - Substitute the values: r = 0.09/12 = 0.0075, n = 120. EMI = 1000000x0.0075x1.0075^120 / (1.0075^120 - 1)
- Result: EMI is about 12668 per month; total interest about 520110
Worked example
| Inputs | P = 1000000, rate = 9%, tenure = 10 years |
|---|---|
| Working | r = 0.09/12 = 0.0075, n = 120. EMI = 1000000x0.0075x1.0075^120 / (1.0075^120 - 1) |
| Result | EMI is about 12668 per month; total interest about 520110 |

Frequently asked questions
What is an EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay your lender every month until the loan is fully repaid. Each instalment covers both interest and a part of the principal.
Does a longer tenure reduce my EMI?
Yes. A longer tenure lowers the monthly EMI but increases the total interest you pay over the life of the loan.
Is the interest rate monthly or yearly?
Enter the annual (yearly) rate. The calculator converts it to a monthly rate internally.
Are processing fees included?
No. EMI covers principal and interest only. Processing fees, GST and insurance are charged separately by the lender.
