Calculate Your Education Loan EMI
What Is Education Loan EMI?
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed monthly payment you make towards repaying your education loan. It includes both the principal amount and the interest, calculated based on the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure.
How To Use Education Loan EMI Calculator
Follow these steps to use the Education Loan EMI Calculator:
- Enter the loan amount you wish to borrow (between Rs 1,00,000 and Rs 1,50,00,000).
- Specify the loan tenure in years (1 to 15 years).
- Input the annual interest rate offered by the lender (8% to 14%).
- Click "Calculate EMI" to see your monthly EMI, total interest, and total payment.
How Is Education Loan EMI Calculated?
The EMI is calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{EMI} = P \times r \times \frac{(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n - 1} \]
Where:
- \( P \) = Loan Amount (Principal)
- \( r \) = Monthly Interest Rate (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
- \( n \) = Loan Tenure in Months (Tenure in Years × 12)
Example Calculation:
- Loan Amount: Rs 20,00,000
- Interest Rate: 10% per annum
- Tenure: 7 years (84 months)
Monthly Interest Rate (\( r \)) = 10 / 12 / 100 = 0.008333
EMI = 2000000 × 0.008333 × \[(1+0.008333)^{84} / ((1+0.008333)^{84} - 1)\]
EMI ≈ Rs 33,203
Total Interest = (EMI × Total Months) - Principal = (33203 × 84) - 2000000 ≈ Rs 7,89,052
Total Payment = Principal + Interest = 2000000 + 789052 = Rs 27,89,052
Education Loan EMI Factors
| Factor | Details |
|---|---|
| Loan Amount | Higher amounts increase EMI. |
| Interest Rate | Higher rates increase EMI and total interest. |
| Tenure | Longer tenure reduces EMI but increases total interest. |
Tips to Reduce Education Loan EMI
- Opt for a Longer Tenure: Increases total interest but reduces monthly EMI.
- Look for Subsidies: Government schemes may offer interest subsidies, reducing the effective rate.
- Start Repayment Early: Some lenders allow interest-only payments during the study period, reducing the principal burden later.
- Prepay When Possible: Reduces outstanding principal, lowering interest burden.
