Tap a year to see each month. Amounts are rounded to the rupee; your bank may differ by a few rupees from rounding.
This is an estimate based on standard financial formulas and the numbers you enter — it doesn’t account for every fee, tax rule, or lender-specific term, and isn’t a substitute for advice from a qualified financial professional. Read the full disclaimer.
See the Full Loan Breakdown, Not Just the EMI
A monthly EMI figure alone doesn't tell you how much of your loan is actually interest versus how much you're paying down principal, or how that split shifts over the life of the loan. This calculator shows the EMI, a visual principal-versus- interest split, and a full year-by-year amortization table — so you can see exactly where every rupee of your monthly payment is going, for any home, car, or personal loan.
How to Use This Calculator
1Enter the loan amountType it or drag the slider. Tap a sample (home, car, personal, education) to start quickly; the amount is also shown in lakh or crore.
2Enter the interest rateThe yearly rate from your sanction letter or the lender's rate sheet, for example 8.5.
3Enter the loan tenureIn years or months. Add the month of your first EMI (optional) to see real dates and the month the loan ends.
4Try part-payments and read the scheduleAdd an extra amount every month or a one-time payment to see the interest you save and how much sooner you finish. Tap any year for its monthly rows, or download the full schedule as a CSV file.
Understanding How Your EMI Actually Works
1EMI stays fixed, but what it pays for changes every monthYour monthly payment amount never changes across the loan tenure, but the split between principal and interest inside that fixed payment shifts every single month — early payments are mostly interest, later payments are mostly principal.
2Why early payments barely dent the loan balanceInterest is charged on the outstanding balance, which is largest at the very start of the loan — so a large share of your early EMIs goes toward interest, and the principal only starts reducing faster once enough of the balance has already been paid down.
3What the amortization schedule actually showsA year-by-year table breaks down exactly how much of that year's payments went to principal versus interest, and what your remaining loan balance is at the end of that year — useful for understanding how much of the loan you've genuinely paid off versus how much interest you've paid so far.
n — number of monthly payments (loan tenure in months)
Example: ₹10,00,000 at 8.5% annual interest for 5 years (60 months) → r = 8.5/12/100 = 0.00708, giving an EMI of roughly ₹20,517/month and about ₹2,31,000 in total interest over the loan.
This is exactly what the calculator above computes — the same formula banks use for standard reducing-balance loans. It assumes a fixed interest rate for the full tenure; a floating-rate loan's EMI (or tenure) changes whenever the bank revises its rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is EMI calculated?
This calculator uses the standard reducing-balance formula: EMI = P × R × (1+R)^N ÷ ((1+R)^N − 1), where P is the loan principal, R is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and N is the total number of monthly installments. This is the same formula banks and NBFCs use.
Why does most of my early EMI go toward interest instead of the loan amount?
Interest is calculated on the outstanding loan balance, which is at its highest right at the start of the loan. As the balance gradually shrinks with each payment, the interest portion of each EMI shrinks too, and a larger share goes toward principal — this shift is exactly what the amortization schedule visualizes.
Does a longer loan tenure always mean I pay more total interest?
Yes, generally — a longer tenure lowers your monthly EMI but increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan, since interest keeps accruing on the outstanding balance for a longer period. This calculator lets you compare tenures directly to see that tradeoff for your specific loan amount and rate.
Is this EMI figure exactly what my bank will charge me?
It's calculated using the same standard formula banks use, so it should match closely for a fixed-rate loan. Actual figures can differ slightly due to processing fees, insurance add-ons, or how a specific lender rounds and applies interest — always confirm the exact EMI with your lender before signing.
What loans can I use this calculator for?
Any fixed-rate, fixed-tenure loan — home loans, car loans, personal loans, education loans — as long as you know the amount, the yearly interest rate and the tenure. For a floating-rate loan, the result holds until the bank changes its rate; re-run it with the new rate when that happens.
Should I use a part-payment to reduce my EMI or my tenure?
Keeping the same EMI and shortening the tenure saves more interest, because the loan is cleared sooner. Lowering the EMI keeps the end date and eases your monthly budget, but saves less. Enter a one-time payment above and switch between the two options to see the difference for your own loan.
Will my bank charge a fee if I prepay my loan?
Under RBI rules, banks and NBFCs can't charge foreclosure or prepayment fees on floating-rate term loans taken by individuals for purposes other than business. Fixed-rate loans and business loans may carry a fee, so check your loan agreement before making a large part-payment.
How do I see the interest I paid in a financial year (for income tax)?
Enter the month of your first EMI, then choose “Apr–Mar (FY)” above the schedule. Each row then shows the principal and interest for one financial year. Use your lender's interest certificate for the exact figures when filing your return, as it includes their own rounding and any rate changes.
Why is the last EMI in the schedule smaller?
The final payment only covers what is left of the loan, so the balance ends at exactly zero. With part-payments, the last EMI is often much smaller than the rest.
Is this EMI calculator free to use?
