How to use the EMI Calculator

How it calculates the results
The EMI is calculated using the following formula:
EMI = [P * r * (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]
Where:
- P is the principal loan amount
- r is the monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12, and then by 100)
- n is the loan tenure in months
The total payment is calculated by adding the total interest payable over the tenure to the principal and the processing fee.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate and actual values can differ based on a variety of factors including compounding frequency, additional fees, or changes in interest rates during the loan period.
