1. What is Home Loan EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. For Axis Bank home loans, EMIs are calculated using reducing balance method.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Loan principal amount (₹)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of the loan, with interest calculated on the reducing balance.

3. Understanding Loan Components

Details: Your EMI consists of both principal repayment and interest payment. Initially, interest component is higher, but gradually principal component increases over the loan tenure.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in ₹, annual interest rate (check current Axis Bank rates), and loan tenure in years. The calculator will show monthly EMI, total repayment amount, and total interest payable.
