About the EMI Calculator
An equated monthly instalment (EMI) is a fixed amount you repay regularly to clear your loan: early payments are mostly interest, later ones mostly principal. With our free EMI Calculator, you can calculate the ideal EMI for your home, car or personal loan.
Enter the loan amount, annual interest rate and tenure (years or months) to see the EMI, total interest paid and how the balance falls year by year. Our calculator provides a detailed amortisation schedule, so you can plan your payments accordingly.
We also provide tips on how to save more interest by choosing the right tenure and interest rate.
How to use the EMI Calculator
- Step 1: Enter loan amount
- Step 2: Enter annual interest rate
- Step 3: Enter tenure (years or months)

Tips & benchmarks
- A one-year shorter tenure can save up to ₹50,000 more in interest than a 0.25% lower rate.
- Prepaying early in the tenure saves the most interest. Aim to clear at least 20-30% of the loan balance each year.
Frequently asked questions
