How to Calculate EMI for Home Loans

By SC Editorial 2026-06-10 7 min read

An Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is the fixed payment you make each month toward a loan. Understanding EMI helps you compare mortgage offers and plan your budget before signing.

EMI Formula

EMI = P * r * (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1), where P is principal, r is monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100), and n is total months. Calculate yours with our EMI Calculator.

Example Calculation

Loan $200,000 at 6% annual for 30 years: r = 0.005, n = 360. EMI about $1,199.10. Total paid about $431,676, including $231,676 in interest.

Tips for Borrowers

A larger down payment reduces principal and interest. Shorter terms raise monthly payments but cut total interest dramatically. Compare APR, not just the advertised rate.
