Calculating EMI for Your Business Loan

In a women entrepreneurs loan, lenders offer the option to women to repay the business loan through multiple flexible EMIs stretched over the loan tenure. Women entrepreneurs can calculate the EMI and interest on their women entrepreneurs’ loans by using the basic formula below.

P * r * (1+r) ^n / ((1+r) ^n-1). P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest per month, and N is the loan tenure.

However, if you are looking to calculate EMI precisely without having to use the above complex method, IIFL Finance has designed an online EMI calculator for business loans for women to determine the monthly instalments on your business loan, along with the overall due interest on the loan.
