Understanding Your Personal Loan EMI
A Personal Loan Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) 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 the Calculation Works
The mathematical formula used for calculating EMI is:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N – 1]
- P: Principal loan amount (the actual amount borrowed).
- R: Rate of interest per month (Annual rate / 12 / 100).
- N: Number of monthly installments (Tenure).
Example Calculation
If you take a personal loan of $10,000 at an annual interest rate of 12% for a period of 24 months:
- Monthly Interest Rate (R) = 12 / (12 * 100) = 0.01
- Tenure (N) = 24 months
- Calculated Monthly EMI = $470.73
- Total Interest Paid = $1,297.63
- Total Repayment Amount = $11,297.63
Factors That Affect Your EMI
- Loan Amount: Higher principal leads to higher EMI payments.
- Interest Rate: Even a 0.5% difference can significantly change your total interest paid.
- Loan Tenure: Shorter tenures result in higher EMIs but lower total interest. Longer tenures lower the EMI but increase the total interest burden over time.
