🧮 How 15 Year Loan EMI Is Calculated

EMI Formula (Reducing Balance Method)

EMI = P × R × (1+R)^N / ((1+R)^N - 1)

P = Principal Loan Amount

R = Monthly Interest Rate (Annual Rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)

N = Loan Tenure in Months (15 years = 180 months)

Example: ₹30 Lakh Loan at 8.5% for 15 Years

Monthly Rate = 8.5% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.0070833
N = 15 × 12 = 180 months
EMI = 30,00,000 × 0.0070833 × (1.0070833)¹⁸⁰ / ((1.0070833)¹⁸⁰ - 1)
EMI = ₹29,529
Total Payment = ₹29,529 × 180 = ₹53,15,220
Total Interest = ₹53,15,220 – ₹30,00,000 = ₹23,15,220

Use our comparison table above. Choose 15 years if you can afford EMI between 10 and 20-year options.

Even ₹50,000 prepaid in year 5 saves ₹60,000 interest on 15-year loan. Use bonuses and tax refunds.
