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 NBP personal loans, EMIs are used to pay off both principal and interest each month.

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 months)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would pay off the loan with interest over the specified term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations, plan their finances, and compare different loan options before borrowing from NBP.

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.

Q3: Can I prepay my NBP personal loan?

Q4: How does reducing loan term affect EMI?

Q5: Is EMI calculation same for all types of loans?
