Business Loan EMI Calculator

EMI on a term business loan, with the schedule you need for a cash-flow projection rather than just the monthly figure.

Also called: commercial loan calculator, msme loan emi.

₹

Type "50 lakh", "1.2 crore" or "250k", all of them parse.

%
years
Payment frequency

Paying quarterly or yearly instead of monthly changes the interest, not just the instalment.

Fewer, larger instalments means the balance sits higher for longer, so total interest rises even though each payment covers more principal.

Prepayments and extra payments

A lump sum, a standing extra amount, or both. The schedule and the saving are recomputed against them.

₹

A standing amount on top of the instalment. This is what a "round up my EMI" plan does.

₹

Leave at 0 if you are not making a lump-sum prepayment.

Fees and ongoing charges

Processing fees raise your effective rate; insurance and maintenance raise your real monthly outgo.

₹

Deducted from what you receive but charged on the full loan, so they raise your APR without changing the instalment.

₹

Not part of the loan, but part of what leaves your account each month.

Interest-only period before repayment

Months before repayment starts, and whether the interest accruing in them is capitalised. The same arithmetic covers a study-period holiday, a deferment and a payment pause.

If you do not, it is added to the loan, which is why an education loan is often larger when repayment begins than the amount that was disbursed.

Monthly instalment

How this is calculated

An estimate, not an offer or a guarantee. Projected returns assume the rate you entered holds for the whole term, which no market does.

Method and background

This is what the calculation gives for the numbers you entered. It is an estimate, not advice, and it knows nothing about your situation beyond those numbers. Rules for India change on a published schedule; the effective date is shown on every rule-based tool.

How this is calculated

An EMI does two jobs at once: it pays the interest that accrued this month, and it repays some principal. Because the principal shrinks, next month's interest is smaller, so more of the identical payment goes to principal. The formula answers one question. What fixed payment, repeated n times, drives the balance to exactly zero?

E = P * i * (1+i)^n / ((1+i)^n - 1)
E
The equal periodic instalment (currency)
P
Principal: the amount borrowed (currency)
i
Monthly interest rate = annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100 (decimal)
n
Total number of monthly instalments (months)

Method and limits

What it assumes

  • Interest compounds monthly on the reducing balance.
  • The rate stays fixed for the whole term. Floating-rate loans reset periodically.
  • Processing fees, insurance and statutory charges are excluded.

What it deliberately does not model

  • Does not model rate resets on floating-rate loans. Most lenders hold the instalment steady and extend the term instead, so a rate rise can add years without changing what leaves your account each month.
  • Does not include property insurance, maintenance or association dues, or any lender fee.
  • Assumes every instalment is paid in full and on time.
