EMI and interest rate are not the same
Your interest rate is the percentage charged on the outstanding loan. Your EMI is the monthly payment that results from the loan amount, rate, and tenure.
Simple example
- A lower rate can reduce the interest part of your loan cost.
- A longer tenure can make the monthly EMI smaller.
- The same loan amount can have different EMIs when the rate or tenure changes.
Use the EMI calculator to compare different combinations before making a loan decision.
