Before taking any loan in India — whether it's a home loan, car loan, personal loan, or education loan — the most important question is: How much will I pay every month? This is called your EMI (Equated Monthly Installment).

Knowing your EMI in advance helps you plan your budget, compare loan offers from different banks, and decide whether you can afford the loan. Our free EMI Calculator gives you the exact answer in seconds.

What is EMI?

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment. It is the fixed amount you pay to the bank every month until your loan is fully repaid. Each EMI payment consists of two parts:

In the early months of a loan, most of your EMI goes towards interest. As time passes, more of your EMI goes towards the principal. This is called an amortization schedule.

EMI Formula

EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)

Where: P = Principal loan amount  |  r = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)  |  n = Loan tenure in months

Current Loan Interest Rates in India (2026)

Loan TypeInterest Rate RangeTypical Tenure
Home Loan8.5% – 10.5% per year10 – 30 years
Car Loan8.7% – 12% per year1 – 7 years
Personal Loan10.5% – 24% per year1 – 5 years
Education Loan8% – 15% per year5 – 15 years

Example: Home Loan EMI Calculation

Loan Amount: ₹30,00,000 (30 Lakhs)

Interest Rate: 8.5% per year

Tenure: 20 years (240 months)

Monthly EMI: ₹26,035

Total Amount Paid: ₹62,48,400

Total Interest Paid: ₹32,48,400

This means on a ₹30 lakh home loan, you end up paying ₹32.5 lakhs extra as interest over 20 years. This is why it's important to make prepayments whenever possible.
