1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to a lender each month. For NBP home loans, this includes both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for the time value of money, calculating equal monthly payments that will pay off the loan plus interest over the specified term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, plan their finances, and compare different loan options before committing to a home loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in PKR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
