What is EMI?
EMI is the abbreviation for equated monthly installment which is an amount payable on a monthly basis for the repayment of a personal loan. It consists of both principal and interest on the money borrowed. Fixed regular payments on a personal loan are paid until the total amount due is paid in full. Initially a large portion of the EMI payment is devoted to the interest, and then as the personal loan matures larger portions of it go towards the principal.
Another observation it that EMI is directly proportional to the amount borrowed and inverse proportional to time period.
How to calculate EMI?
