How EMI Is Calculated: The Formula Explained Simply

Every loan EMI is computed with the formula E = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the principal, r the monthly interest rate, and n the number of monthly instalments. Early in the tenure most of your EMI goes toward interest; towards the end it mostly repays principal.

Home Loan vs Personal Loan: Which Should You Choose?
