EMI Calculator
When you plan to buy a car or bike, understanding the monthly EMI is one of the most important steps. A small change in interest rate or loan duration can make a big difference in your monthly budget. The EMI Calculator helps you quickly find your exact monthly EMI, total interest, and total repayment amount in seconds.
This guide explains how the tool works, how to enter values correctly, and how to understand the results.
What the EMI Calculator Does
The EMI Calculator instantly shows you:
- Monthly EMI
- Total interest payable
- Total amount you will repay over the full loan period
- Effect of interest rate and tenure on your EMI
This helps you check whether a loan plan is affordable before you apply for it.
Inputs You Need to Enter
1. Loan Amount (₹)
The amount you want to borrow from the bank or lender.
For example: 5,00,000 (for a bike or a small car), or 10,00,000 (for a sedan/SUV).
2. Annual Interest Rate (%)
The interest rate offered by your bank.
Most car/bike loans in India range between 8% to 14%.
3. Tenure (months)
The duration of your loan.
Common tenures: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, or 72 months.
Longer tenure = lower EMI but higher overall interest.
Shorter tenure = higher EMI but less interest.

- Click Calculate.
The tool instantly displays:
