What is a home loan EMI
An EMI, or equated monthly installment, is the fixed monthly payment used to repay a home loan or mortgage over its term. Each payment covers both principal (the amount borrowed) and interest on the remaining balance.
How the EMI is calculated
This calculator applies the standard amortization formula: EMI = P x r x (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n – 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and by 100), and n is the total number of monthly payments (loan term in years times 12). In the early years of a mortgage, a larger share of each EMI goes toward interest; over time, more goes toward principal.
