EMI Calculator

Find your monthly instalment for any loan in seconds.

Quick answer: The EMI on a ₹25 lakh loan at 8.75% a year for 20 years is about ₹22,093 a month. Total interest is about ₹28 lakh, so you repay about ₹53 lakh in all. The formula is EMI = P × i × (1 + i)^n / ((1 + i)^n − 1).
Your details

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment, the fixed amount you pay your lender every month until the loan is cleared. Each EMI has two parts: interest on the outstanding balance and a repayment of principal.

Formula used

EMI = P × i × (1 + i)^n / ((1 + i)^n − 1), where P is the loan amount, i the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n the number of monthly instalments.

Ways to reduce your interest

  • Choose a shorter tenure if you can afford the higher EMI.
  • Make part-prepayments, which reduce the principal that interest is charged on.
  • Compare rates across banks, since even 0.25% matters on a long loan.

Frequently asked questions

Does a longer tenure reduce my EMI?

Yes, but you pay much more interest overall. A 25-year loan costs far more than a 15-year loan at the same rate.

Does this include processing fees?

No. Add the lender’s processing fee and other charges separately.

Is this valid for floating rates?

It assumes a fixed rate. With floating rates your EMI or tenure changes when the rate changes.
