Therefore, knowing how to calculate the home loan EMI amount – either offline or with an online housing loan EMI calculator – for your home loan is essential as it will determine whether you can afford the loan amount or not.
How to Calculate Home Loan EMI?
- Online through EMI calculators or home loan EMI calculators
- Offline, with the help of the EMI formula
Offline EMI Calculation with the EMI Formula
EMI = [P x R x (1 + R) N] / [(1 + R) N – 1]
Where:
- P = Principal or loan amount
- R = Annual Rate of Interest divided by 12 or the applicable monthly home loan interest rate
- N = Number of EMIs or the loan tenure divided into months
Let us understand this calculation with an example:
Mr Sinha took a home loan of ₹1 crore for a tenure of 20 years at an annual interest rate of 10%.
Here,
P = 1,00,00,000
R = 10/12 = 0.833% = 0.008331250 (after dividing by 100 to convert from percentage)
N = 20 years divided into months = 240 months
Thus, applying the formula:
EMI = [P x R x (1 + R)N] / [(1 + R)N – 1]
[10000000 x 0.008331250 x (1 + 0.008331250)240] / [(1 + 0.008331250)240 – 1]
(1 + 0.008331250)240 = 7.322
EMI = (10000000 x 0.008331250 x 7.322) / (7.322 – 1) = 96,490.69
Thus, as per the EMI calculation, Mr Sinha will have to pay a monthly EMI of approximately ₹96,491. He can round off the amount for ease of calculation and pay a monthly EMI of ₹96,500.
You can use the above formula to make an EMI calculator in Excel and calculate your EMI with different loan amounts, tenures, and interest rate combinations.
