Understanding Loan EMI & Amortization
How interest and principal shift across the life of your loan
When repaying an installment loan, your fixed monthly payment stays the same, but the internal allocation changes drastically. During the initial months, a large portion of each EMI covers accrued interest. As the principal is paid down, interest charges shrink and more of each payment pays off the principal balance.
Interest is recalculated every month strictly on the remaining unpaid principal rather than the original loan amount.
Adding even a small extra monthly payment slashes years off the loan tenure and saves massive interest dollars.

Frequently Asked Questions About Loan EMI & Repayment
What is an Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI)?
An Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender on a specified calendar date each month. Each EMI includes both a loan principal portion and accrued interest, ensuring the loan is paid off in full over the specified tenure.
How is Loan EMI calculated mathematically?
The mathematical formula is 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 ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the total number of monthly installments.
How do monthly extra prepayments save interest and shorten loan tenure?
Extra prepayments go 100% directly toward reducing the outstanding principal loan balance. Because interest in subsequent months is calculated on a smaller principal, your loan amortizes much faster, saving thousands in total interest and wiping out the debt years ahead of schedule.
What is the difference between a Flat Interest Rate and a Reducing Balance Rate?
In a flat rate loan, interest is charged on the initial principal for the entire tenure regardless of how much you have repaid. In a reducing balance loan (the standard method used in this calculator), interest is charged only on the remaining unpaid principal, which is significantly cheaper for the borrower.
