How this is calculated
EMI is calculated on a reducing-balance basis — the same method every Indian bank and NBFC uses — with the formula EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ [(1+r)ⁿ − 1], where P is the principal, r is the monthly rate, and n is the number of months. Early EMIs are mostly interest; later ones are mostly principal, which is why prepaying early saves the most. The figures use 8.5% as an indicative rate — your actual rate depends on your credit score, lender and loan type.
