What is EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is a fixed amount paid by a borrower to a lender every month. It includes both the principal repayment and the interest charged on the outstanding balance. EMIs remain constant throughout the loan tenure, but the interest-principal composition changes — early EMIs are interest-heavy, while later ones are principal-heavy.

Tips to Reduce Your EMI Burden

- Consider making prepayments when you have surplus funds
Frequently Asked Questions
How is EMI calculated?
EMI is calculated using the formula: EMI = P × r × (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 prepayment reduce EMI or tenure?
You can choose either. Reducing tenure saves more on total interest, while reducing EMI lowers your monthly outflow. Most banks allow partial prepayment without charges on floating-rate loans.
