Enter your loan amount, interest rate, and term above to see your monthly payment and what the loan costs in total.

The formula

EMI = P x r x (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100), and n is the number of monthly payments.

Example

The formula is currency-agnostic: the same ratio holds whatever you borrow in. A loan of 250,000 at 7.5% over 20 years works out to roughly 2,014 a month, with about 233,000 paid in interest across the life of the loan.

Fitting a loan payment into your budget

A loan payment is a "need" in 50/30/20 terms - run both calculators together to check the payment fits inside your needs bucket before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What is an EMI?
EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment - the fixed amount you pay each month until the loan is fully repaid. Each payment covers both interest and a portion of the principal.
Why does a longer loan term cost more overall?
A longer term lowers each monthly payment but leaves the principal outstanding for longer, so you pay interest on it for more months. Compare the 'total interest' figure across different terms to see the trade-off.
