Knowledge
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is a fixed payment each month that covers principal and finance charges over the loan tenure. Conventional loans use compound interest on the declining balance.
Amortization. Early payments carry more interest; later payments retire more principal. The stacked chart and schedule show how that mix shifts over time.
Islamic (Murabaha-style) mode. Total profit is calculated on the principal and tenure, added to the loan amount, then divided into equal monthly instalments with fixed principal and profit portions — a simplified planning model, not a bank contract.

FAQs
How is EMI calculated here?
The tool uses the standard amortizing loan formula on the amount borrowed (principal minus down payment), annual interest rate, and tenure in months.
What is total interest?
Total interest is everything you pay beyond the borrowed amount over the full tenure — the sum of all EMIs minus the loan principal after down payment.
Can I enter tenure in years or months?
Yes. Switch between years and months; the calculator converts to months internally for the EMI formula.
