What is an EMI?

EMI is the monthly installment paid by the borrower towards the loan at a specified interest rate over a specified loan tenure.

Calculating The EMI On Personal Loans

The EMI calculations mainly rely on three variables-

• The Loan Term or The Tenure of The Loan
• The Loan Value
• Rate of Interest

*The rate of interest is one of the aspects that comes determined by the bank.

Calculating EMI Using The PMT Formula

This is a longer, tedious and round about approach to calculating the EMI on your personal loan. Here, you can run the PMT formula on Microsoft Excel to calculate EMI on personal loan, where

• PMT is your EMI
• NPER or number of periods is the total number of payments for the loan
• PV is the loan value or the principal
• Rate is the rate of interest/12
• The formula is
• PMT (Rate, NPER, pv)

You can keep trying the formula for various combinations and then choose the one with the lowest EMI, though this is a roundabout approach that could be prone to human error.

Online Personal Loan EMI Calculator

Or a far easier option to calculate the affordable EMI, is using, for example, Bank of Baroda’s online personal loan EMI calculator.

Here, you will find a slider on the range of each of the three basic variables on your screen- the loan amount you are likely to need, the tenure or the repayment period of the loan that suits your finances and the rate of interest.

Now, the rate of interest is what you get from the bank, while the other two aspects, i.e., the loan amount and the tenure of the personal loan are the ones you can play around with here.

When you place the cursor on a particular value of the loan term, rate of interest and loan amount, the calculator throws up a monthly payment value, which is your EMI. You can move the cursor horizontally along the range provided to pick the various values.

How To Calculate Emi For Personal Loan With Example

The formula used to calculate EMI for personal loans is:

EMI = [P x R x (1+R) ^n] / [(1+R) ^ n-1]

Where P= Principal loan amount
R= Rate of interest &
n= Number of monthly installments.

For example:
Let us assume, P= Rs. 3 lakh, R= 15 percent per annum= 15/12= 1.250 per month, N= 60 months then,
EMI = [300000*1.250/100*(1+1.250/100) ^60]/ [(1+1.250/100) ^60-1] = Rs. 7,137
