Equated Monthly Installments(EMI) :

What is EMI ?

An EMI, or Equated Monthly Instalment, is a fixed amount you pay every month towards repaying your loan. Each instalment includes two components – the principal amount and the interest charged on the outstanding balance. As you continue paying, the interest portion gradually decreases while the principal repayment increases.

Using a reliable loan EMI calculator like the one offered by IDFC FIRST Bank ensures proper financial planning. You can easily know how much you will pay monthly and how much total interest will accrue over the tenure. This is particularly useful as the cost of credit has evolved significantly in India, with lending rates becoming more competitive. Whether you’re opting for a personal loan, car loan, or home loan, understanding your EMI beforehand helps maintain better control over your budget and repayment discipline.

Formula to calculate the loan EMI

The standard EMI formula is as follows:

EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ] / [(1 + r)ⁿ – 1]

Where:
  • • p = Principal loan amount
  • • r = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
  • • n = Loan tenure in months

For example, if you borrow a personal loan of ₹10 lakhs at 10% interest for 5 years, the EMI would approximately be ₹21,247 per month. You can verify this instantly using the IDFC FIRST Bank personal loan EMI calculator, ensuring precision without manual computation.

How to use the EMI calculator?

The online EMI calculator tool from IDFC FIRST Bank is simple and quick to use. All you need is to do is:

  • • Enter the loan amount that you are opting for
  • • Choose a suitable repayment tenure
  • • Add the interest rate

The loan calculator instantly displays your monthly EMI, total interest payable, and overall repayment value, allowing you to assess affordability before finalising any loan.

Factors affecting your loan’s EMIs

Loan Amount

A higher principal increases the EMI proportionally. Always borrow what you can repay comfortably.

Interest Rate

The rate directly impacts the EMI. Lower interest rates reduce repayment burden, while higher ones increase it. Using an EMI interest calculator helps you assess the effect of rate fluctuations.

Loan Tenure

A longer tenure lowers monthly EMIs but increases the total interest payable. Conversely, shorter tenures mean higher EMIs but quicker loan closure.

Type of interest

Fixed rates ensure consistent EMIs, while floating rates vary with market conditions. Interest cost also depends on whether the calculation is reducing balance basis or a flat rate method.

Prepayments

Any part-payment towards your loan reduces the principal amount and can shorten your repayment period.

Frequently asked question

Does the EMI calculator consider processing fees?

How does part-payment or prepayment affect my EMI?
