What is EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay to your bank or lender every month to repay your loan. Each EMI has two components:
-
Principal Repayment
The portion that reduces your outstanding loan balance
-
Interest Payment
The cost of borrowing — calculated on the outstanding balance
Key insight: In early EMIs, the interest portion is higher. As you repay principal, the interest component decreases and principal component increases. This is called loan amortization.
EMI Formula
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n
÷ ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Example: ₹10 Lakh, 8.5% p.a., 5 years → r = 0.007083, n = 60 → EMI = ₹20,517/mo

About EMI Calculation in India
In India, most banks and NBFCs use the reducing balance method to calculate EMI. This means interest is charged only on the outstanding loan balance, not the original loan amount. As you repay principal each month, the interest component reduces.
Major banks like SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, and Kotak all use this standard formula. Our FincalcX EMI calculator uses the exact same formula, ensuring your calculations match what your bank would show.
Factors affecting your EMI: Loan amount (higher loan = higher EMI), Tenure (longer tenure = lower EMI but more total interest), Interest rate (higher rate = higher EMI), and processing fees (not included in EMI but added to loan cost).
FAQ
What is EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is a fixed monthly payment made to a lender to repay a loan. Each payment covers both the principal and interest, calculated using the reducing balance method.
How is EMI calculated in India?
EMI is calculated using the formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n −1), where P is the principal amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the total number of months.
Does a longer tenure reduce EMI?
Yes. A longer tenure lowers your monthly EMI but increases the total interest paid over the loan period. A shorter tenure means higher EMI but lower total cost.
What is the EMI for a ₹10 lakh home loan?
For a ₹10 lakh loan at 8.5% per annum for 5 years, the EMI is ₹20,517 per month. Use the calculator above to check any combination.
