Simple estimate for emi. Rates & taxes will vary — verify before acting.

Reducing-balance EMI calculator for any loan — home, car, or personal — with the full month-by-month amortization schedule so you can see exactly how much of each payment is interest versus principal.

How it's calculated

EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1), where P is principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of months. Each month, interest is charged on the outstanding balance, and whatever's left of the fixed EMI reduces principal — which is why the interest portion is largest in month 1 and smallest in the final month, even though the EMI itself never changes.

Worked example

₹50L at 8.5% for 20 years works out to an EMI of ₹43,391/month. Over the full tenure that's ₹1.04Cr paid — ₹50L principal and ₹54L interest, meaning you pay roughly as much in interest as you borrowed.

Frequently asked
Why is so much of my early EMI interest, not principal?

Because interest is charged on the outstanding balance, which is highest at the start. As principal reduces month by month, the interest component shrinks and the principal component grows — even though the EMI amount itself is fixed for the whole tenure.

Does a lower EMI always mean a cheaper loan?

No — a longer tenure lowers the EMI but increases total interest paid, since you're borrowing the bank's money for longer. Compare total interest paid, not just the monthly figure, when choosing tenure.
