Benefits Of Using Personal Loan EMI Calculators Over Manual Calculations
A personal loan is one of the most popular credit products and can be used for a wide range of purposes such as for a vacation, buying gadgets or appliances, renovating home or even for dealing with a medical emergency.
Like all loans, when taking a personal loan both the borrower and the lender agree on the interest rate that will be applied to the principal amount. This interest rate is arrived at by the lender after conducting a detailed analysis of the borrower's creditworthiness and the interest rates prevailing in the market, and the borrower would have understandably negotiated for a lower interest rate.
The repayment of the principal amount and interest is spread over the tenure of the loan into equated monthly installment (EMIs). The calculation of EMI can be done using personal loan EMI calculators or manually.
The EMI CalculationThe formula that is usually used by lenders to calculate the EMI is:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1]
P = Principal Amount
R = Monthly Rate of Interest
N = Loan Tenure in Months
If the equation appears complicated, let’s understand it with the help of an example. Suppose the principal amount of the loan is Rs 1 lakh, the interest rate is 10% per annum and the duration is five years. In this case, the EMI would be Rs 2,125.
This means the borrower would pay a total of Rs 1,27,480 over five years to the lender. Of this, Rs 27,480 will be the interest charged.
Total Payment = Principal Amount + Total Rate of Interest
Rs 1,27,480 = Rs 1,00,000 + Rs 27,480
The EMI of a personal loan, or any other loan for that matter, has two components—principal and interest. The interest component decreases over the years while the principal portion rises.
