The EMI Formula
EMI uses the reducing-balance method — interest is charged only on the outstanding principal, not the original amount.
P = Principal | R = Monthly rate
N = Total months (years × 12)
What is EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay the lender every month until the loan is fully repaid. Each payment covers both interest and a portion of the principal.
How to Reduce Your EMI?
Make a larger down payment, negotiate a lower interest rate, or extend the tenure. Making part-prepayments reduces the outstanding principal and lowers future EMIs.

What is EMI?
EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment. It is the fixed amount you pay your bank every month until your loan is fully repaid. Each payment covers both the interest for that month and a portion of the principal. In early months, more of your EMI goes towards interest. Over time, the principal repayment share increases — this is called the reducing balance method, used by all banks in India.
