Loan EMI, SIP & Retirement Planning
These calculators help you estimate payments and goal-based investing using transparent formulas. Use them as planning tools to understand trade-offs before you commit.
EMI Formula (for monthly instalment)
EMI = (P × r × (1+r)^n) ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1)
P = principal (loan amount), r = monthly interest rate, n = total months (tenure).
SIP Future Value (for goal planning)
FV = P × [((1+r)^n − 1) ÷ r] × (1+r)
P = monthly SIP amount, r = monthly return rate, n = total months. Used for planning assumed growth.
Principal vs Interest
This portal preview explains what the EMI tool visualizes: how much of total payments goes to principal and how much to interest.
Key Terms (quick glossary)
- Principal (P): the original loan amount or the invested amount before interest/returns.
- Tenure (n): time period over which payments/investments run.
- Monthly rate (r): annual interest/return converted to monthly for EMI/SIP formulas.

Benefits of using this category
Planning clarity
See monthly instalments and total costs early, so you can compare scenarios and set realistic expectations.
Transparent assumptions
Formulas and key definitions reduce ambiguity. The goal is “understand before deciding”, not just “compute”.
HRA exemption logic (minimum rule)
HRA exemption minimum is computed from: actual HRA received, standard city-based percentage of salary (metro: 50%, non-metro: 40%), and rent minus 10% of salary. Use the HRA calculator for the exact inputs and outputs.
