How we worked it out
Updated as you change the numbers.
- Monthly rate r = 8.5% ÷ 12 = 0.70833%; months n = 240.
- EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1) = ₹25,00,000.00 × 0.007083 × 5.4412 ÷ 4.4412 = ₹21,695.58.
Method and assumptions
The standard reducing-balance formula used by Indian banks: interest each month is charged on the outstanding balance at the yearly rate ÷ 12. Processing fees, insurance and GST on fees are not included.
