How it is calculated

The calculator uses the standard reducing-balance EMI formula. Lenders may round, charge fees or compound interest differently, so treat the result as an estimate.

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n ÷ ((1 + r)n − 1)
P = principal repaid through EMIs
r = annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100
n = tenure in months
  • Interest paid during moratorium: you pay P × r each month while studying. The principal stays the same, then EMIs start on P.
  • Interest not paid: simple interest of P × r × months accrues and is added to the principal when repayment starts. EMIs are then calculated on that larger amount.
  • Your live values: P = ₹11,00,000, r = 0.00833, n = 84 → EMI ₹18,261
