Frequently Asked Questions
What is EMI?
Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are applied to both interest and principal each month so that over a specified number of years, the loan is fully paid off.
How is EMI calculated?
EMI is calculated based on the principal amount, interest rate per annum, and the repayment tenure. Our tool uses the reducing balance method where interest is computed only on the outstanding principal at the beginning of each monthly payment cycle.
What happens if I pay extra EMI?
Paying extra EMIs or pre-payments reduces your remaining loan principal amount faster. Because interest accrues on the principal, reducing it leads to lower total interest charges and a shorter loan tenure overall.
How to reduce EMI?
You can reduce your monthly EMI by choosing a longer loan tenure, negotiating a lower interest rate, or making a lump-sum pre-payment on your principal. Note that a longer tenure increases the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan.
Flat rate vs reducing balance rate?
A flat interest rate calculates interest on the full initial loan amount throughout the tenure, which is more expensive. Reducing balance interest charges interest only on the outstanding unpaid principal, making it the cheaper option over time.
