Loan Basics
When taking out a loan, understanding how payments are calculated is crucial for financial planning.
What is EMI?
EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment. It's a fixed payment amount you pay each month to repay a loan.

Key Factors Affecting Loan Payments
- Principal Amount: The original loan amount
- Interest Rate: The annual percentage rate (APR)
- Loan Term: The number of years to repay
