Formula used by EMI Calculator

Standard Formula
EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^n] / [(1+R)^n − 1]
Live Calculation (Plugging Your Values)
Loan amount (P):₹80,00,000
Monthly rate (R):8% / 12 / 100 = 8/1200
Number of EMIs (months) (n):240
Substituted Equation:
[₹80,00,000 × 8/1200 × (1+8/1200)^240] / [(1+8/1200)^240 − 1]
Monthly EMI:₹66,915

R is the annual interest rate divided by 12 and then by 100. Each month the interest charged is the outstanding balance × R, and the rest of the EMI repays principal, so the interest share of the same EMI falls every year. At 0% interest the EMI is simply P / n. The same figures in Excel or Google Sheets, for the first month:

Monthly EMI
=PMT(8/1200, 240, -8000000) → ₹66,915

Interest Paid for first month
=IPMT(8/1200, 1, 240, -8000000) → ₹53,333

Principal Paid for first month
=PPMT(8/1200, 1, 240, -8000000) → ₹13,582
