Understanding Loan EMI Formula: A Beginner's Guide

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay to your lender every month until the loan is fully repaid. Understanding how EMI is calculated helps you plan your finances better.

The EMI Formula

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

Where P = Principal, r = monthly interest rate, n = tenure in months.

How to Reduce EMI

• Choose a longer tenure (but pay more interest overall)
• Negotiate a lower interest rate
• Make partial prepayments when possible
