Quick answer: personal loan EMI

A ₹3,00,000 personal loan at 12% for 3 years has an EMI of ₹9,964.29, so you repay ₹3,58,714.55 in total including ₹58,714.55 interest.

Overview of the Personal Loan Calculator

A personal loan is an unsecured loan repaid in fixed monthly EMIs. Enter the amount, the annual interest rate and the tenure to see the EMI, the total interest and the full repayment schedule. Add the processing fee if it is financed into the loan.

Personal loan rates are usually higher than secured loans, so keep the tenure short where you can. Compare lenders by APR (rate plus fees) using the APR Calculator, and see whether consolidating several debts helps with the Debt Consolidation Calculator.

How We Calculate

The calculator applies the standard financial formulas step by step.

  1. Convert the annual rate to a monthly rate (÷ 12 ÷ 100) and the term to months.
  2. Work out the amount you actually borrow after down payment, trade-in, fees and any financed charges.
  3. Apply the EMI formula to get the fixed monthly payment.
  4. Build the schedule month by month: interest = balance × monthly rate; principal = payment − interest.
  5. Add up the interest and payments; with extra payments, repeat the schedule to find the interest and time saved.
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)
r = annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100   n = years × 12
total interest = EMI × n − P

Personal Loan Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

How is personal loan EMI calculated?

With the standard EMI formula using the loan amount, monthly interest rate and number of months.

What is a good personal loan interest rate?

It depends on your credit score, income and lender. Compare offers on APR, not just the headline rate.

Does the processing fee change my EMI?

If it is added to the loan, yes. If you pay it upfront, leave it blank and add it to the total cost yourself.

Can I prepay a personal loan?

Many lenders allow part-prepayment, sometimes with a fee. Test overpayments with the Loan Calculator.

How long should my tenure be?

A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts interest sharply; pick the shortest EMI you can comfortably afford.

Will a personal loan affect my credit score?

Timely repayment helps your score; missed payments hurt it. Applying for several loans quickly can also lower it temporarily.

How is the personal loan calculator calculated?

It uses the standard formula: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1) The full method and a worked example are shown on this page.

Can I use another currency?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing you enter is uploaded or saved.
