Frequently Asked Questions
EMI is calculated using the standard formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)n / ((1+r)n - 1), where P = Principal loan amount, r = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n = Total number of monthly installments (Years × 12). This formula ensures 100% accuracy for reducing balance loans.
An amortization schedule is a detailed table showing each monthly payment broken into principal and interest components. It also shows the remaining balance after each payment, cumulative interest paid, and the percentage of loan repaid. It helps you understand how your loan decreases over time.
Prepayment reduces the outstanding principal. Since interest is calculated on the remaining balance, a lower principal means less interest accrues. You can choose to either keep the same EMI and finish the loan earlier (reduce tenure), or lower your EMI while keeping the same end date (reduce EMI).
Arrears (End of Month): You pay EMI at the end of each month after interest has accrued. This is the most common type. Advance (Start of Month): You pay EMI at the beginning of each month before interest accrues. The first EMI is paid upfront and contains only principal (no interest for that month).
A moratorium period (also called holiday period) is a time during which you don't pay EMI. Interest continues to accrue during this period and is added to the principal. EMI payments start after the moratorium ends. This is common in education loans and some home loans during construction.
Financial experts recommend that your total EMI should not exceed 40% of your monthly income. Use our Affordability Calculator to determine the maximum loan amount you can borrow based on your monthly budget, interest rate, and preferred tenure.
