What is EMI (Equated Monthly Installment)?
EMI is a fixed monthly payment made to repay a loan. Each EMI includes both principal repayment and interest. The EMI amount remains constant throughout the loan tenure, while the ratio of principal and interest changes over time.
EMI Formula
Where: P = Principal, r = Monthly interest rate (annual/12/100), n = Total months
Monthly rate (r) = 8.5/12/100 = 0.00708
Months (n) = 240
EMI = ₹21,700
Total Interest = ₹27.08 lakh | Total Payment = ₹52.08 lakh

At 8.5% for 20 years: EMI ≈ ₹8,678. At 9% for 20 years: EMI ≈ ₹8,997.
Q2. Is EMI calculated on reducing balance?
Yes, all bank loans use reducing balance method. As you pay EMIs, principal reduces and interest component decreases over time.
Q3. Can I prepay my loan to save interest?
