Frequently Asked Questions

What is EMI?

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment. It is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.

How is EMI calculated?

EMI is calculated using the mathematical formula: EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N-1], where P is the principal loan amount, R is the monthly interest rate, and N is the number of monthly installments.

Does EMI include both principal and interest?

Yes, each EMI payment consists of two components: principal repayment and interest payment. In the initial months, the interest component is higher, but as you continue paying, the principal component increases and interest component decreases.

Can I prepay my loan to reduce EMI?

Yes, most loans allow prepayment. You can either reduce your EMI amount while keeping the tenure same, or reduce the tenure while keeping EMI same. Prepayment helps you save on total interest paid.
