Loan & EMI Calculations

How accurate are EMI calculations for home loans?

Our EMI calculations are highly accurate using the standard formula:

EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n-1)

However, actual EMIs may vary slightly due to:

  • Processing fees and charges
  • Insurance premiums
  • Interest rate fluctuations (for floating rates)
  • Prepayment options

Always confirm final terms with your lender.

Can I calculate EMI for both fixed and floating interest rates?

Fixed Rate: Use current offered rate for entire tenure

Floating Rate: Use current rate as starting point, but remember:

  • EMI will change with rate fluctuations
  • Consider rate cycle trends
  • Plan for potential 1-2% rate variation
  • Use our "What-if" scenarios for rate changes

What's the difference between reducing and flat interest rates?

Reducing Rate (Recommended):

  • Interest calculated on outstanding principal
  • Total interest decreases over time
  • Used by most banks and NBFCs
  • Lower total interest payment

Flat Rate:

  • Interest calculated on original principal
  • Higher total interest payment
  • Used by some personal loan providers
  • Simple but expensive
