Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) Formula
All calculations are computed based on mathematically rigorous standards and formulas:
Worked Example
Loan of $100,000 at 8% annual interest for 15 years (180 months):
1. Monthly interest r = 0.08 / 12 = 0.00667
2. Monthly EMI = $955.65
3. Total Repayment = $172,017 (Principal $100k + Total Interest $72,017)
