About this tool

The calculator uses the standard formula for a fixed-rate amortising loan with monthly payments: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the amount borrowed, r is the monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12) and n is the number of months. Early payments are mostly interest; later ones mostly repay the principal, as the yearly table shows.

Real loans can include arrangement fees, insurance and different compounding rules. Some lenders in the region quote a "flat rate", which makes the true cost much higher than the same reducing-balance rate. Ask your lender for the APR or reducing-balance rate.

Good to know

  • Fixed rate, monthly payments, reducing balance. Flat-rate loans are not modelled.
  • Fees, insurance and taxes are not included.

Frequently asked questions

How is EMI calculated?

EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1), with r the monthly interest rate and n the number of months. This calculator does it for you.

What is the difference between a flat rate and a reducing rate?

A flat rate charges interest on the original amount for the whole term; a reducing rate charges it only on what you still owe. A 4% flat rate costs roughly as much as a 7.4% reducing rate over five years.

Does paying extra reduce total interest?

Usually yes, because interest is charged on the remaining balance. Check whether your lender charges early-settlement fees.
