What is EMI?
EMI (equated monthly instalment) is the fixed amount you pay your lender every month until a loan is repaid. Each EMI pays part of the interest and part of the principal. Early EMIs are mostly interest; later EMIs are mostly principal.
How is EMI calculated?
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n ÷ ((1 + r)n − 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of months. For a ₹25,00,000 home loan at 8.5% for 20 years, the EMI is ₹21,696 and the total interest is ₹27,06,939.
Is the EMI Calculator app free?
Yes. The app is free on Google Play, with no sign-up and no account.
Does the app work offline?
Yes. Every calculator works offline. Only the currency converter uses the internet, about once a day, to download exchange rates, and it keeps the last rates so it also works offline.
What is the difference between flat and reducing interest rate?
A flat rate charges interest on the full loan amount for the whole tenure. A reducing rate charges interest only on the amount still owed, so the same number costs much less. For example, 8.5% reducing over 20 years costs about the same as 5.4% flat. The app converts between the two.
Which tax regime is better for FY 2026-27?
It depends on your salary and deductions. Under the new regime, salary up to ₹12.75 lakh pays no tax after the ₹75,000 standard deduction and the 87A rebate. For a ₹15 lakh salary with ₹1.5 lakh under 80C and ₹25,000 under 80D, the new regime tax is ₹97,500 against ₹2,02,800 in the old regime. The app compares both for your numbers.
Does the app give loans?
No. The app is a calculator only. It does not offer, arrange or recommend loans and is not connected to any bank or lender.
