What is EMI?
Equated Monthly Installments is the systematic repayment of the borrowed amount by a borrower to the lender. This repayment occurs at a specific date over a fixed period which is agreed upon by both borrower and lender. The major advantage of EMI is that the borrower is aware of the exact amount to be paid each month and the exact duration of the installment period.

How is Personal Loan EMI Calculated?
Your personal loan EMI depends on three factors: the loan amount, the rate of interest and the tenure of the loan. The mathematical formula for calculating personal loan EMI is:
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n/((1 + r)n - 1)
Where, P = Loan amount, r = the rate of interest, and n = tenure in months.
Thus, you can see that the EMI increases with the loan amount and the rate of interest, but decreases as the tenure gets larger. This may make you think that a longer tenure is better as the monthly outlay towards the loan will be lower. But this is not necessarily true, as longer tenure also results in the overall cost of the funds getting higher as the total amount that you would pay back gets larger with the tenure.
How is Personal Loan Interest Calculated?
Now that you know how to calculate the EMI, you must be wondering how personal loan interest rate is calculated. The interest rate offered by the lender depends on multiple factors. These include:
- Your credit history
- Your monthly income
- The loan amount
- Your fixed monthly obligations including any outstanding loans
As a rule, the lower the credit risk that the lender perceives, the lower is the interest rate they can offer. Therefore, to get a good interest rate ensure that you service all your outstanding loans on time, and have enough income over your fixed obligations to service the loan you are applying for.
How to Reduce your EMI for a Personal Loan?
You can reduce your personal loan EMI either by choosing a longer repayment tenure or negotiating a lower rate of interest with the lender.
By using the personal loan calculator, you can calculate the loan EMI for different tenure and select the one that suits best according to your repayment capability. Also, a good CIBIL score will help you to enjoy lower interest rates.
What are the Factors That Can Affect Personal Loan EMI?
The personal loan EMI is affected by factors like the loan amount, rate of interest and loan tenure. Please note that your personal loan EMI may also contain other charges such as insurance and service fees, which will not be indicated by the EMI calculator. The final EMI amount will be communicated to you after your loan gets approved through your loan agreement and schedule. However, the EMI calculator gives a near accurate estimate of the monthly EMI you will need to pay by taking into account the most important factors which are interest rate, tenure and loan amount.
Using the personal loan calculator, you can calculate the personal loan EMI of different tenure and check how a change in different factors impacts the EMI.

What is the Personal Loan Amortization Schedule?
A personal loan amortization schedule is a detailed table of periodic loan EMI payments of the chosen loan tenure. The table includes the total breakdown of principal and interest amount in EMI payments of every year of the chosen loan tenure.
It is calculated using the personal loan calculator and the table is generated automatically and helps borrowers to keep track of what they owe at any given point.
How is the Personal Loan EMI to be Paid?
Your personal loan EMIs are fixed and are debited directly from your bank account on a fixed date of every month until the completion of loan tenure, the details of which are intimated at the time of approval.
Using the EMI calculator for personal loan, you can determine the EMI amount and select the right loan tenure for yourself. The personal loan EMI calculator can also be used to check how different factors impact loan EMI.
