Personal Loan EMI Calculator

When using a personal loan calculator, consider the following factors to ensure accurate and effective calculations: 


1. Loan Amount: Determine the total amount you wish to borrow. The higher the loan amount, the higher the EMI will be. 

2. Interest Rate: Enter the interest rate offered by the lender. A lower interest rate reduces the EMI, while a higher rate increases it. Interest rates can be fixed or floating, which may affect your repayments over time. 

3. Loan Tenure: Choose the duration over which you plan to repay the loan. A longer tenure results in lower EMIs but increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan, while a shorter tenure leads to higher EMIs but less total interest.

EMI calculators are most accurate for fixed interest loans like those offered by FIRSTmoney. However, if you’re estimating repayments for floating interest rates, the EMI shown will be approximate, as the rate may change during the tenure. FIRSTmoney personal loans offer fixed interest rates (monthly reducing basis), where interest is applied on the remaining principal amount instead of the original principal amount. This ensures predictable EMIs throughout the loan period and is effectively more affordable.

The online personal loan EMI calculator from IDFC FIRST Bank is designed to provide an accurate calculation of your loans EMIs. These tools provide a near-exact estimate of monthly instalments, helping you compare loan amounts and repayment periods. This is especially useful when planning to apply for a personal loan online through FIRSTmoney’s 100% digital process.

When you prepay a part of your personal loan, the total outstanding principal decreases. While your EMI may stay the same, the loan tenure shortens, or you may choose to reduce the EMI amount instead. With FIRSTmoney, you can close your loan by paying the outstanding amount in full without any foreclosure charges. Check the latest fees and charges on FIRSTmoney loans.

Your loan tenure significantly influences EMI. A longer tenure results in lower EMIs, but more interest paid overall. A shorter tenure increases the monthly EMI but reduces the interest outgo. You should choose a personal loan tenure based on your financial planning. With FIRSTmoney, you can select a tenure between 9 to 60 months, giving you the flexibility to balance repayment with affordability.

An amortisation schedule outlines the EMI breakup—showing how much goes towards clearing the interest charges and how much towards the principal amount. It’s a helpful tool to visualise the progress of your personal loan repayment month by month. As you calculate your loan EMIs, FIRSTmoney also shows an amortisation schedule simultaneously, making your loan planning even more streamlined.

The standard formula used for calculating EMIs is: 

EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N – 1] 

Where: 

P = Principal loan amount 

R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12) 

N = Loan tenure in months

You can reduce your personal loan EMI by choosing a longer repayment tenure, getting a lower interest rate, or making prepayments when possible. A longer tenure spreads the repayment over more months, reducing the EMI amount. A higher credit score can help you qualify for lower interest rates, which also brings down your EMI. Additionally, prepaying a part of your loan reduces the outstanding principal and future interest burden.
