Worked example
Suppose you enter 1000000, 9%, 10y. The calculator works as follows:
| Inputs | 1000000, 9%, 10y |
|---|---|
| Working | r=0.0075, n=120 |
| Result | EMI about 12668 |
Step-by-step calculation
- Apply the formula:
EMI = P x r x (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1) - Substitute your values: r=0.0075, n=120
- Read the result: EMI about 12668
