How the EMI is calculated
For principal P, monthly rate r and n monthly payments, EMI = P × r / (1 − (1 + r)^(−n)). The monthly rate is the annual percentage divided by 1,200. At zero interest, EMI = P / n. These are our own annuity calculations.
The schedule applies interest to the opening balance, takes the regular payment, then takes any one-time prepayment. The EMI stays the same and prepayment shortens the term. A prepayment above the outstanding balance is capped at that balance.
By loan year groups each set of 12 months from the start of the loan, not a calendar or financial year. The monthly CSV includes every payment, interest amount, principal reduction, prepayment and remaining balance.
A worked example
A ₹1,20,000 loan at 0% over 12 months has an EMI of ₹10,000 and no interest. A ₹30,000 prepayment after payment 3 clears the same loan in 9 months.
Before you use the result
This estimate assumes a fixed nominal annual rate and monthly interest charged before each end-of-month payment. It excludes fees, insurance, taxes, daily-interest adjustments and lender rules. It does not quote a bank rate or assess eligibility. Each interest amount and regular EMI is rounded to the nearest paise, with halves rounded up; the final payment clears the remaining balance. A positive EMI below one paise becomes one paise. Inputs: up to ₹1 lakh crore, 0–100% annual interest, and 1–600 months. Enter whole years or whole months.
