1. What is Credit Card EMI?

Credit Card EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a payment option that allows you to convert large purchases into smaller monthly payments with interest. It helps distribute the cost of expensive items over time.

2. How Does the EMI Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

\[ EMI = P \times r \times \frac{(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
\( n \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount required each month to pay off the loan over the specified tenure, including interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Understanding your EMI helps in financial planning, budgeting, and comparing different loan options. It ensures you can comfortably repay without straining your finances.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan tenure in months (typically 3-60 months for credit card EMI). All values must be positive numbers.
