What is a Loan Calculator?
A Loan Calculator is an online financial tool that helps estimate the monthly payment, total interest and total repayment amount for a loan.
By entering the loan amount, interest rate and loan tenure, you can quickly estimate how much you may need to pay each month.
What is Loan EMI?
EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment. It is the regular payment made towards repaying a loan. An EMI generally consists of both principal and interest components.
How to Use the Loan Calculator
- Enter the loan amount.
- Enter the annual interest rate.
- Enter the loan tenure in years.
- Click the Calculate Loan button.
- View your estimated monthly EMI, total interest and total payment.
Loan EMI Formula
The commonly used EMI formula is:
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate
- n = Number of monthly payments
Loan Calculator Example
Suppose you take a loan of ₹5,00,000 at an annual interest rate of 8.5% for 5 years.
The calculator converts the annual interest rate into a monthly rate and calculates the estimated monthly EMI based on the selected tenure.
Factors That Affect Loan EMI
Three important factors affect the EMI calculation:
- Loan Amount: A larger loan generally results in a higher EMI.
- Interest Rate: A higher interest rate generally increases the interest payable.
- Loan Tenure: A longer tenure can reduce the monthly EMI but may increase the total interest paid.
Loan EMI vs Total Interest
Your monthly EMI is made up of principal and interest. Over the course of the loan, the total amount paid is the principal amount plus the total interest.
Why Use a Loan Calculator?
- Estimate monthly loan payments.
