EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment — the fixed amount you pay every month on a loan. It is worked out from the loan amount, the yearly interest rate and the tenure in months: the monthly rate is the yearly rate divided by 12, and the EMI is set so the loan is fully repaid by the last month. A longer tenure lowers the EMI but raises the total interest, so the calculator also shows the total interest and total payment to help you choose.
Example: Loan amount 500,000 · Interest rate 12% per year · Tenure 60 months
Monthly EMI: $11,122.22
EMI uses a reducing balance: interest is charged on what you still owe, which falls every month. A flat rate charges interest on the full original amount for the whole term, which costs much more. Always ask which method a lender uses.
It lowers the EMI, which is easier month to month, but you pay far more total interest. Shorten the tenure if you can afford the higher EMI.
Most lenders allow it, and prepaying cuts the interest a lot because it lowers the balance. Check first whether your lender charges a prepayment fee, and whether extra payments go to principal.
