EMI Calculation Example
by Nitin Kapur on Apr 15, 2005 03:54 PM

Posting this message for the benefit of other folks like myself who want to know the formula used for calculating the EMI. I found this info at:
http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/faq.interest.html

EMI = Pi/[q(1-[1+(i/q)]^-nq)].
P = Loan Amount, or, Principal Amount
i = Interest Rate per Year
q = no of payment periods per year
n = no of loan years

So, if you wanted to calculate the EMI for a loan amount of Rs.100000, with an interest rate of 7.25% per year, payable in monthly installments over 5 years:

EMI = (100000*0.0725)/(12*(1-((1+(0.0725/12))^(-5*12))))

EMI = Rs.1992
