Making large expenses from savings may not always be possible. Wedding expenses, funding your child’s higher education or even renovating your home, are some such large expenses that you may not be able to cover with your savings. To ease the financial stress of such heavy expenses, one can always take out a loan. Let us understand the meaning of loans and how they work.

What is a loan?

A loan is an arrangement between a lender and a borrower in which the borrower agrees to pay back the borrowed sum in equated monthly instalments (EMIs) with an additional interest within a pre-set tenure. It is a short-term infusion of cash that must be repaid later, usually the principal and the interest payable. Know more about our personal loan

What is an EMI?

EMI stands for equated monthly instalments. It is a fixed amount of money that borrowers need to pay to the lender every month, to repay their loan. EMIs help borrowers to repay their debt in a systematic and structured manner over a specific loan period.

How is an EMI calculated?

You can compute your monthly payments using a mathematical formula as follows:

E = P*r*(1+r) ^n/((1+r)^n-1) where,

  • E is EMI
  • P is the principal loan amount,
  • r is the rate of interest calculated monthly, and
  • n is the tenure/ duration in months

What are the factors that influence your EMI payments?

The following are the factors that can influence your EMI:

Principal borrowed: This is the total loan amount that the borrower has taken out.
Loan interest rate: This is the interest rate applied to the amount borrowed.
Tenure: The length of the loan, or the tenure, is determined by the borrower and the lender.
