The reducing-balance method

Where each EMI actually goes

Your EMI is the same amount every month, but its make-up shifts. Interest is calculated on the remaining balance. As that balance falls, the interest portion decreases and more of each payment repays principal. Interest need not be most of an EMI, especially on a short loan. Compare any prepayment saving with the lender’s foreclosure charges.

Three things change your EMI

Loan amount

The principal you borrow. A bigger amount raises every EMI proportionally — and the total interest with it.

Interest rate

Charged on the reducing balance each month. Even a couple of points changes what you pay over the full term.

Tenure

How long you take to repay. A longer tenure lowers the monthly EMI but quietly increases total interest.
