1. What is EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. For advance salary loans, EMI helps employees repay their borrowed amount in manageable monthly payments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would pay off the loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.
