Understanding Your Personal Loan EMI
An EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are applied to both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.
How is Personal Loan EMI Calculated?
The formula used for calculating personal loan EMI is:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N – 1]
- P = Principal loan amount
- R = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12 / 100)
- N = Number of monthly installments (Tenure)
Example Calculation
If you borrow $10,000 for 24 months at an interest rate of 10% per annum:
- Monthly Interest Rate (R) = 10 / (12 * 100) = 0.00833
- Tenure (N) = 24
- Monthly EMI = $461.45
- Total Interest = $1,074.80
- Total Payable = $11,074.80
Tips to Lower Your EMI
To reduce your monthly financial burden, consider the following strategies:
- Choose a Longer Tenure: Increasing the loan duration reduces the monthly EMI but increases the total interest paid.
- Improve Credit Score: A higher credit score often helps you negotiate a lower annual interest rate.
- Make Prepayments: If your bank allows it, making lump-sum payments towards your principal can significantly reduce your future EMIs or tenure.
