How EMIs are calculated

An EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay each month on a loan. It uses the reducing-balance formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ⁄ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate and n is the number of months. The instalment stays constant, but early payments are mostly interest and later ones mostly principal.

Comparing a shorter tenure against a longer one is the fastest way to see how much interest a loan really costs. Many traders fund their capital partly through loans, knowing the true monthly outflow keeps your risk budgeting honest.
