What is EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed payment made by a borrower to a lender each month. It consists of both a principal and an interest component. EMIs are used for home loans, car loans, personal loans, and more.
EMI Formula
EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1) where P = Principal, r = Monthly interest rate, n = Number of months.
Reducing Balance Method
Banks use the reducing balance method where interest is charged on the outstanding loan balance, not the original amount. This means your interest payment decreases each month as you repay the principal.
How to Reduce Your EMI
You can reduce your EMI by making a larger down payment, choosing a longer tenure, or negotiating a lower interest rate. A higher credit score usually gets you better rates.
