EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalments. It is a fixed monthly payment made by the borrower to repay their loan without any hassles. This monthly instalment is made up of the principal amount and the interest amount that has been accrued. Flexible repayment tenure of up to 5 years lets the borrower spread the EMI amounts and make the credit facility affordable. On top of that, one can also use the EMI calculator tool available on Bajaj Markets to know the exact amount which will have to be paid by the borrower every month, along with the total interest payable in a matter of mere minutes.
Manual calculation of a monthly instalment can indeed be a time-consuming process and might give you a result that you may not deem to be possible. To avoid such a scenario, one can use the MSME Loan EMI Calculator as the same is simple to use and tends to give accurate results within minutes. One can calculate their MSME loan EMI amounts by feeding in the following details:
Principal
Rate of interest
Tenure
EMI=P*r* (1+r) ^n/ [ (1+r) ^ n-1)
Here,
P stands for the principal or loan amount
R stands for the rate of interest
N stands for the tenure
With this online tool, you can also try different combinations of loan amount and tenure to arrive at an EMI that fits your repayment capacity.
