How the EMI is calculated
- 1
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n ÷ ((1 + r)^n − 1), where P is the loan amount, r the monthly rate and n the number of months.
- 2
Monthly rate: 11% ÷ 12 = 0.9167% (r = 0.009167).
- 3
Months: 3 × 12 = 36.
- 4
Growth factor: (1 + r)^n = (1 + 0.009167)^36 = 1.3889.
- 5
EMI = ₹5,00,000 × 0.009167 × 1.3889 ÷ 0.3889 = ₹16,369.
What banks look at
In the first year, ₹47,647 of your EMIs goes to interest and ₹1.49 lakh to the principal. Part-prepayments early in the loan reduce interest the most; RBI rules do not allow banks to charge individual borrowers prepayment penalties on floating-rate loans.
Many lenders keep total EMIs within about 50% of net monthly income, so an EMI of ₹16,369 usually needs a take-home salary of at least ₹32,739 if you have no other loans.
