Understand what is behind the number.
Formula and worked example
Monthly rate r = annual rate ÷ 1200. EMI = principal × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−months). At zero interest, EMI = principal ÷ months.
A ₹1,20,000 loan at 12% nominal annual interest for 12 months has an EMI of approximately ₹10,662 and total interest of approximately ₹7,942, before charges.
