What the numbers actually mean

Your EMI stays fixed for the life of the loan, but the split behind it doesn't. Early payments are mostly interest; later ones are mostly principal. The year-by-year schedule shows exactly how that balance shifts over time, not just a single flat monthly figure.

Why tenure matters as much as the rate

A longer tenure lowers your monthly EMI but increases the total interest paid, since you're borrowing the money for longer. The total repayment figure makes that trade-off concrete, worth checking at a couple of different tenure lengths before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this account for processing fees or insurance add-ons?

No, the calculation covers principal, rate, and tenure only. Add any fees or insurance separately to your total cost estimate.

Can I export the amortization schedule?

Yes, use Export Schedule (CSV) to download the full year-by-year breakdown.

What if my loan has a floating interest rate?

Enter your current rate for an estimate. Re-run the calculation with a new rate whenever your bank adjusts it.

Should I choose a shorter or longer tenure?

Shorter means a higher EMI but noticeably less total interest. Longer eases monthly cash flow at the cost of paying more overall. It depends on what payment you can comfortably sustain each month.

How is the EMI formula calculated?

It uses the standard reducing-balance EMI formula based on your principal, monthly interest rate, and total number of monthly installments.

What does the amortization schedule show?

A year-by-year breakdown of how much of each year's payments went toward principal versus interest, plus the remaining loan balance at the end of that year.

Can I download the schedule for my records?

Yes, the full amortization schedule can be exported as a CSV file that opens in any spreadsheet program.
