How it works

An EMI pays the same amount every month. Early EMIs are mostly interest; later ones are mostly principal, because interest is charged on what you still owe.

The chart shows how much of each year’s EMIs goes to principal and how much to interest.

Formula: EMI = P × i × (1 + i)^n ÷ ((1 + i)^n − 1), where P is the loan, i the yearly rate ÷ 12 and n the number of months.
