Formula Used

The education loan calculation involves multiple steps:

  1. Interest During Course: Simple interest on loan amount for course duration
  2. Total After Moratorium: Loan amount + Interest during course + Interest during moratorium
  3. Monthly EMI: Calculated using standard EMI formula on total amount after moratorium

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n / ((1 + r)n - 1)

Where:

  • P = Principal amount (Total after moratorium)
  • r = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12 / 100)
  • n = Number of monthly payments (Repayment period in years × 12)
