Formula for Interest Rate Comparison

This calculator uses the standard EMI or compound interest formula to compare how different interest rates affect repayment or returns.

For Loan Interest Rate Comparison (EMI-based)

EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n – 1]

  • P =Loan amount
  • r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
  • n = Loan tenure in months

FV Formula (Compound Interest):

FV = P × (1 + r/n)^(n × t)

  • P = Principal amount (initial investment)
  • r = Annual interest rate (in decimal)
  • n = Number of compounding periods per year
  • t = Time in years
