Loan EMI Calculator
Calculate monthly EMI, total payment and total interest for loan planning.
EMI calculator — calculate loan monthly payment
This free EMI calculator helps you plan loan repayments by calculating the monthly EMI (Equated Monthly Installment), total payment amount, and total interest paid over the loan term. Enter your loan amount, annual interest rate, and loan period in months to get instant results.
What is EMI
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed monthly payment you make to repay a loan. Each EMI includes both a principal component (repaying the borrowed amount) and an interest component (cost of borrowing). In the early months, more of each payment goes toward interest. As the loan ages, more goes toward principal.
EMI formula
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n − 1)
Where: P = Principal loan amount, r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), n = Total number of months
How to reduce your total interest payment
- Increase your monthly EMI if possible — fewer months means less total interest
- Make a larger down payment to reduce the principal
- Negotiate a lower interest rate — even 1% less can save significantly
- Choose a shorter loan period when the higher EMI is manageable
- Make occasional prepayments to reduce the outstanding principal

Example use cases
Car loan: ₹500,000 at 9% for 48 months → Monthly EMI ≈ ₹12,443. Home loan: ₹5,000,000 at 8.5% for 240 months → Monthly EMI ≈ ₹43,391. Compare a 3-year vs 5-year tenure to decide if the lower EMI justifies the higher total interest.
