What is EMI and How is it Calculated?
An Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) is the fixed amount you pay to a lender every month to repay a loan over a chosen tenure. It includes both a principal component and an interest component. In the early months, most of the EMI goes toward interest; over time, the principal portion increases. This is called the reducing balance method β you pay interest only on the outstanding loan amount, not the original amount.
EMI = P Γ r Γ (1 + r)n Γ· [(1 + r)n β 1]
Where: P = Principal Β Β r = Monthly rate = Annual Rate Γ· 12 Γ· 100
n = Tenure in months (years Γ 12)
Max Loan Amount = EMI Γ [(1+r)n β 1] Γ· [r Γ (1+r)n]
FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) = Total EMIs Γ· Gross Monthly Income

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FOIR and how does it affect loan eligibility?βΌ
FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) is the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes toward fixed EMI obligations. Most Indian banks require FOIR below 50β55% for personal loans and 40β50% for home loans. For example, if your income is βΉ80,000 and your existing EMIs are βΉ10,000, your available FOIR capacity is βΉ30,000 (at 50% FOIR). The new loan's EMI cannot exceed this remaining capacity. Banks use FOIR to assess repayment risk.
How do I reduce my EMI?βΌ
Three ways: (1) Increase tenure β longer tenure means lower EMI, though you'll pay more total interest. (2) Negotiate a lower rate β even 0.5% reduction saves significantly over long tenures. (3) Pay a larger down payment β reducing the principal reduces the EMI proportionally. You can also request balance transfer to a lower-rate lender if you find a better offer mid-loan.
What happens if I miss an EMI payment?βΌ
Missing an EMI typically incurs a late payment penalty of 1β2% of the overdue amount, plus the missed instalment is added to the next month. More critically, it affects your CIBIL score negatively β even one missed payment can drop your score by 50β100 points. After 90 days of non-payment, the loan is classified as an NPA (Non-Performing Asset), which severely impacts credit eligibility for future loans. Always contact your lender before missing a payment β most banks offer a moratorium or restructuring option for genuine hardship.
Is it better to pay a higher EMI or make prepayments?βΌ
Both save interest, but prepayments give more flexibility. A higher EMI reduces interest mechanically each month. Prepayments reduce the outstanding principal in a lump sum β because future interest is calculated on the lower balance, even a small prepayment early in the tenure saves disproportionately more. The ideal strategy: keep EMI manageable, then prepay aggressively from annual bonuses or surplus cash. Early prepayments (in the first 1β3 years) save more than later ones because they eliminate years of compound interest.
What is the flat rate vs reducing balance rate difference?βΌ
A flat rate charges interest on the entire original principal throughout the loan, regardless of repayment. A reducing balance (which all banks now use) charges interest only on the outstanding principal. A 10% flat rate is equivalent to roughly 18β20% reducing balance rate β making flat rates significantly more expensive. Always confirm which method your lender uses. RBI mandates that all bank loans use the reducing balance method, but some NBFCs and microfinance institutions still quote flat rates for consumer loans.
