Frequently Asked Questions

What is EMI? ⌄

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment — the fixed monthly payment made to repay a loan over a specified period, covering both principal and interest.

What is the EMI formula? ⌄

EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1), where P = loan amount, r = monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), n = total months.

How much EMI for a $250,000 home loan at 5.5% for 20 years? ⌄

Monthly rate = 5.5/1200 = 0.00458. n = 240. EMI ≈ $1,716.65. Total interest paid ≈ $161,996.

Does paying extra EMI reduce interest? ⌄

Yes. Making prepayments reduces the outstanding principal, which significantly cuts total interest paid and can shorten the loan tenure.

What is the difference between EMI and monthly instalment? ⌄

They are the same — EMI is simply the South Asian term for a fixed monthly loan payment that covers both principal and interest.

How does loan tenure affect EMI? ⌄

Longer tenure means lower EMI but higher total interest. Shorter tenure means higher EMI but you pay less interest overall.
