About this tool

A car loan, a phone on instalments, a personal loan from the bank — they all come down to one number: what leaves your account every month, and for how long. Enter the loan amount, the interest rate and the years, and this calculator gives you the monthly EMI, the total interest you will pay, and the true total cost of borrowing.

The total interest line is the one to stare at. On long loans it regularly surprises people: stretching the same loan over more years lowers the monthly payment but can add a third again to what you hand the bank in interest. Slide the years up and down here first — it costs nothing, unlike signing first.

Worth knowing: This uses the standard reducing-balance EMI formula that banks use. It does not include processing fees, insurance bundles or late charges, which lenders add separately — ask for those in writing before you sign anything.

How to use the EMI / Loan Calculator

Questions people ask

What is the EMI formula?

EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (yearly rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of monthly payments.

Give me a real example.

A loan of Rs 1,000,000 at 20% yearly interest for 3 years: EMI ≈ Rs 37,164 per month, total interest ≈ Rs 337,884, total payable ≈ Rs 1,337,884.

Does a longer loan period save me money?

It lowers the monthly payment but increases the total interest, often by a lot. Shorter periods are harder monthly and cheaper overall — this calculator lets you compare both before deciding.

Is this exactly what my bank will charge?

Very close for the EMI itself, if the rate you entered matches your agreement. Banks may add processing fees and insurance on top, which this estimate does not include.
