🧾 Personal Loan Calculator

Calculate your monthly EMI, total interest, and full repayment schedule for any personal loan. Enter the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure to instantly see what you will pay each month and over the life of the loan.

EMI Formula

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)
P = Loan amount r = Monthly rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100) n = Number of months

How to Calculate Personal Loan EMI

  1. 1
    Enter Loan Amount
    The total amount you plan to borrow from the lender.
  2. 2
    Enter Interest Rate
    The annual interest rate offered by your lender (check your offer letter).
  3. 3
    Choose Loan Term
    The repayment period in months. Longer term = lower EMI but higher total interest.
  4. 4
    Review Amortization
    See the full month-by-month breakdown of principal and interest payments.

Real-World Example

Borrow $10,000 at 12% per year for 36 months.

r = 12% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.01 (1% per month)
EMI = $10,000 × 0.01 × (1.01)³⁶ ÷ ((1.01)³⁶ − 1)
EMI = $332.14/month
Total Payment = $11,957 | Total Interest = $1,957

Frequently Asked Questions

A personal loan is an unsecured loan from a bank or lender that you can use for any purpose — debt consolidation, home renovation, medical expenses, or major purchases. Because it is unsecured (no collateral), interest rates are typically higher than secured loans like mortgages or car loans.

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is calculated using the 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. Each EMI contains both a principal and an interest component — the interest portion decreases each month as the balance reduces.

Key factors include your credit score (higher score = lower rate), income and employment stability, existing debt levels (debt-to-income ratio), loan amount and term, and the lender's policies. Borrowers with 700+ credit scores typically receive the best rates.

Yes, most lenders allow prepayment, but some charge a prepayment penalty (typically 1-5% of the outstanding balance). Paying extra toward principal reduces your total interest significantly. Always check your loan agreement for prepayment terms before making extra payments.
