📝 Understanding Your Loan EMI
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay each month towards your loan. Our AI-powered calculator helps you understand your payments, total interest, and provides smart recommendations to save money.
🔢 EMI Calculation Formula
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ / ((1 + r)ⁿ - 1)
