Education Loan EMI: How It Works

EMI Calculation Formula

EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N-1]

Where:
P = Principal loan amount
R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate/12/100)
N = Loan tenure in months

Example Calculation

For ₹5 lakh loan at 8% for 5 years (60 months):
Monthly Interest Rate = 8%/12 = 0.6667%
EMI = [500000 × 0.006667 × (1.006667)^60] / [(1.006667)^60 - 1]
EMI ≈ ₹10,135
