What is Personal Loan Calculator, and How Does it Help You

Personal loans are unsecured credit facilities used for emergencies, home renovation, travel, or debt consolidation. Because personal loans have higher interest rates compared to secured loans, managing repayment tenures is crucial to keeping interest costs under control. Knowing the monthly EMI in advance helps you borrow responsibly.

The Personal Loan Calculator is an interactive planning tool that estimates your monthly EMIs, total interest payable, and the overall cost of borrowing. It allows you to test different combinations of loan amounts and tenures.

Unsecured Credit Planning

Determine monthly EMIs to ensure they fit comfortably within your monthly salary budget.

Interest Impact Tracker

See how personal loan interest rates (typically 10.5% to 24% p.a.) affect the total outgo.

Detailed Amortization

View a detailed monthly breakdown of principal reduction and interest charges.

How Does the Personal Loan Calculator Work?

The calculator computes your monthly EMI using the standard reducing balance compounding formula.

EMI = [P x r x (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]

P: Principal loan amount borrowed

r: Monthly interest rate (annual interest rate / 12 / 100)

n: Total number of repayment installments (tenure in months)

EMI: Equated Monthly Installment

If you take a personal loan of ₹3,00,000 at an interest rate of 12% p.a. for a tenure of 3 years (36 months), the monthly interest rate is 1%. The calculator computes a monthly EMI of ₹9,964, with a total interest outgo of ₹58,713.
