Frequently Asked Questions

What is EMI and how is it calculated?
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is fixed payment you make every month. It includes principal + interest. Formula: [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N-1] where P=Principal, R=monthly rate, N=tenure in months.
Should I choose longer or shorter tenure?
Shorter tenure = higher EMI but less total interest. Longer tenure = lower EMI but more interest overall. Choose based on your monthly budget and income stability.
Does EMI change during the loan period?
For fixed rate loans, EMI stays constant. For floating rate loans, EMI changes when bank changes interest rate. Some banks keep EMI same but adjust tenure instead.
What is amortization schedule?
It's a table showing how each EMI is split between principal and interest. Early EMIs have more interest, later ones have more principal. Our tool generates this automatically.
Can I reduce EMI later?
Yes! Make partial prepayments to reduce principal, which lowers EMI or tenure. Check prepayment charges first. Some loans allow EMI reduction after certain period.
