Understanding EMI Calculation & Amortization in India
An authoritative reference to the reducing-balance loan formula, amortization, and prepayment impact.
The Mathematical EMI Formula
All major Indian banks and NBFCs (including SBI, HDFC, and ICICI) compute monthly loan installments using the standard reducing-balance annuity formula:
EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
• P = Principal loan amount borrowed
• r = Monthly interest rate (Annual interest rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• n = Total number of monthly installments (Tenure in years × 12)
Worked Example: Home Loan
Assume you take a ₹30 Lakhs home loan at 8.50% p.a. for 20 years (240 months):
How Loan Prepayment Saves Lakhs in Interest
Because Indian home loans operate on a reducing balance basis, early EMI installments predominantly cover interest charges. Any extra prepayment goes directly toward slashing the principal balance. For instance, paying just ₹5,000 extra per month on a ₹30 Lakhs loan can shave over 5 years off your tenure and save upwards of ₹8 Lakhs in pure interest.
RBI Policy Notice: Under Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, banks cannot levy any prepayment penalty or foreclosure fees on floating-rate individual home loans.
