Frequently asked questions

What is an EMI?

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment. It 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 does interest rate affect EMI?

A higher interest rate increases your monthly EMI and greatly increases the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan. Even a small increase in the rate can add thousands of dollars to your total cost for long-term loans like mortgages.

Can I pay off my loan early?

Most banks and financial institutions allow early payoff or extra monthly payments, which reduces the total interest owed. This calculator assumes a standard amortization schedule without pre-payments.
