Frequently Asked Questions
What is EMI and how is it calculated?
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each month. It's calculated based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure, ensuring the loan is repaid with interest over the agreed period.
How can I reduce my EMI amount?
You can reduce EMI by: (1) Choosing a longer loan tenure, (2) Making a larger down payment to reduce principal, (3) Negotiating a lower interest rate, or (4) Making prepayments when possible. Each option has trade-offs in total interest paid.
What percentage of income should go towards EMI?
Financial experts recommend that your total EMI payments should not exceed 40-50% of your monthly income. This ensures you have sufficient funds for other expenses, savings, and emergencies while comfortably managing loan repayments.
