Calculating Equated Monthly Installment

(Emi)

In housing finance, equated monthly installment (EMI) reffers to the monthly payment towards intrest and principal made by our borrower to our lender.EMI is calculated using a formula that considers loan amount,intrest rate and loan period as variables.


The formula for calculating EMI

EMI = (L x I) x (1 + I)^N

[(1+I)^N] - 1

Where

L = Loan amount

I = Intrest rate (rate per annum divided by 12)

^ = To the power of

N = Loan period in months


Assuming a loan of Rs. 1 lakh at 11 percent per annum, repayble in 15 years, the EMI calculation using the formula will be:


EMI = (1,00,000 x 0.00916) x (1+ 0.00916)^180

[(1+0.00916)^180]-1

= 916 x 5.161846

4.161846

EMI = Rs. 1,136
