1. What is ICICI Home Loan EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to the lender (ICICI Bank) each month until the loan is paid off. The EMI consists of both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would pay off the loan with interest over the specified tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment, plan their budget, and compare different loan options before applying.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in ₹, annual interest rate in %, and loan tenure in years. All values must be positive numbers.
