Fixed-rate borrowing

Loan payment and EMI calculator

Answer three short questions to estimate the monthly payment, total interest, and how the balance falls over time.

Use the amount you will actually borrow—not the purchase price. The calculator models one fixed rate and equal monthly payments.

1How much will you borrow?

Choose how results should be displayed, then enter the principal after any down payment.

2What interest rate applies?

Use the fixed nominal annual rate. APR can be higher when it includes fees, so do not substitute APR unless the lender says it is the note rate.

3How long will you repay it?

Enter whole years plus any additional months. Together they must be between 1 and 720 months.

What the monthly payment tells you

The monthly payment is the equal amount required to repay the entered principal and interest over the selected term. It is also commonly called an equated monthly installment (EMI). “Loan payment” and “EMI” describe the same fixed-payment idea in this calculator, so there is no need to use two separate tools.

Start with the payment to check cash-flow fit, but do not stop there. The total-interest figure shows the price of stretching repayment over time. A longer term can make the monthly amount feel easier while increasing the amount paid to the lender.

How to read the schedule

Each payment first covers interest on the outstanding balance; the remainder reduces principal. Early payments generally contain more interest because the balance is larger. The annual rows group the underlying monthly calculation so you can see that shift without scanning hundreds of lines.

The first-payment split makes this especially visible. The final payment may differ by a tiny amount from the displayed monthly figure because the model closes the remaining mathematical balance rather than leaving a rounding residue.

What to enter

Interest rate is not always APR

A quoted annual percentage rate may reflect lender charges that the note rate does not. This calculator does not infer fees from APR. For a fee-aware annualized estimate, use the loan APR calculator. To compare two offers with different rates, terms, and fees, use the loan comparison calculator.

What this estimate leaves out

The model excludes origination charges paid in cash, taxes, insurance, optional products, daily interest, irregular first periods, late fees, prepayments, balloon payments, payment holidays, floating-rate resets, and lender-specific rounding. Currency selection changes display formatting only; it does not perform an exchange-rate conversion.

This is an educational fixed-rate scenario, not a lender quote, approval, or financial recommendation. Confirm the official repayment schedule, APR, fees, payment dates, prepayment rules, and total amount repayable before signing a loan.
