What is EMI?
EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installments. It is the fixed monthly payment made to any financial institutions such as Bank to repay your loan. There are two components of an EMI, one is Principal and other is Interests. Principal is the total Loan amount that bank gives you, and Interests is the charges that bank take during the tenure of loan. Therefore the value of EMI depend upon the Principal, Rate of interest, and tenure of Loan.
The formlua for EMI calculation
![\[ EMI=P.r.\frac{(1+r)^n}{((1+r)^n-1)} \]](https://how-to-calculate.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-501109f44f2039e21c7138fae41c5fdf_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
Where,
=Principal or the Loan amount
= Rate of interests on monthly basis
(If Home Loan interest rate is 9.55 % then
![\[r=\frac{9.55}{12*100}=0.00795833\]](https://how-to-calculate.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-0f625374ba6a9db97111484e92e11dc5_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
= Tenure of Loan in nos of months (for 20 years.
![\[n=20*12=240\]](https://how-to-calculate.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-3723b853f117a828b73ecfb7155fa195_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
For Example:
For Loan Amount=500000 and Tenure=20 years, suppose Home Loan Interest rate=9.55%
P=500000
n=240
r=0.00795833
EMI=5000000*0.00795833. (1+0.00795833)^240/((1+0.00795833)^240-1)=46770
How to calculate Principal and Interest component of EMI?
EMI has two component Principal (P) and Interests (I). During starting years Interests component is very very large as compared to the Principal component. Every months Principal amount reduces but with a small amount. However after certain years when the Principal component reduces considerably the Interest component will be lower then the Principal.
![\[I=BP.r\]](https://how-to-calculate.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-a1ec46db7bc89b17979877f550757f03_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
![\[P=EMI- I\]](https://how-to-calculate.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-33217189c64b7d8581998606c6d7c3ae_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
Where,
= Balance Principal/ Remaining Principal.
= Rate of interests on monthly basis
From above Example
First Month EMI=46770, BP=5000000, I=5000000*0.00795833=39792, P=46770-39792=6978
Second Month EMI=46770, BP=5000000-6978, I=4993022*0.00795833=39736, P=46770-39736=7034
similarly for other months….
How To Calculate EMI after Partial Payment
Partial Payments are always subtracted from the Principal amount already paid to bank, and the interests is calculated in the remaining Principal amount. The EMI value remain the same only the nos of EMI will reduce. Suppose from above example somebody wants to pay 500000 after five years and he has paid already paid 545231 in principal through EMIs of 60 months, then the remaining principal amount in 61st month will be (5000000-1045231=3954769). The interests component of 61st EMI will ( 3954769*0.00795833=31473) and the principal component will be (EMI-31473=15297).
Nowadays bank give facility to do n number of partial payments without paying extra charge. Therefore keeping higher EMI for lesser numbers of periods is not advisable. Do not keep very low EMI as well, this may increase the overall cost of your Home because Its human nature that money saving (for Partial payment) is always difficult if there is no compulsion.
