Considering a personal loan from Axis Bank but unsure how it will affect your monthly finances? The Axis Bank personal loan EMI calculator can give you a clear picture of your repayments before you commit. By offering precise estimates of your monthly instalments, it helps you make informed decisions about loan amounts, interest rates, and tenures. In this guide, we’ll look at how the calculator works, the factors that influence your EMI, and commonly asked questions around personal loans.
Axis Bank personal loan EMI calculator is an online tool that instantly computes your monthly repayment amount, or EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment), when you provide three key pieces of information:
By using this calculator, you can quickly gauge the size of your monthly outflow. This clarity helps you see whether the proposed EMI suits your financial comfort zone. For instance, if you’re aiming for a loan of INR 3 lakh at a 12% interest rate for 36 months, the calculator will show a monthly repayment figure within seconds.
Behind the scenes, most EMI calculators apply a common formula to give you the monthly instalment:
EMI = [P x r x (1+r)n] / [(1+r)n - 1]
Where:
The good news is, you don’t have to crunch these numbers yourself. All you do is enter the values into the calculator, and it immediately displays your approximate EMI. This saves time and minimises the risk of arithmetic errors.
The principal you borrow is the bedrock of your EMI calculation. Larger amounts naturally produce bigger monthly instalments. Axis Bank often allows personal loans from around INR 50,000 up to several lakhs, though the exact ceiling depends on your creditworthiness and income.
Interest rates for personal loans in India typically vary between 9% to 24% per annum. Axis Bank’s rates are usually within this bracket but depend on factors like your credit score, the loan amount, and ongoing bank offers. Even a slight difference in interest rate can create a noticeable change in your monthly EMI and total interest over the life of the loan.
Opting for a longer term—say, 48 or 60 months—lowers your monthly payment but increases your overall interest cost. A shorter tenure—like 12 or 24 months—raises your EMI but reduces the total interest you end up paying.
Below is a table illustrating approximate EMIs for a loan of INR 2 lakh at an 11% annual rate, across various tenures:
Loan Tenure (months) | Monthly EMI (Approx.) | Total Interest (Approx.) |
---|---|---|
12 | INR 17,621 | INR 11,452 |
24 | INR 9,322 | INR 23,728 |
36 | INR 6,547 | INR 35,692 |
48 | INR 5,177 | INR 48,496 |
60 | INR 4,348 | INR 60,880 |
Fixed interest rate: Your interest rate stays the same throughout the loan period, so your EMI remains constant. This makes budgeting easier.
Variable interest rate: Also known as floating rate, this can fluctuate based on market indices or other economic factors. Your EMI could go up or down during the loan term, though most Indian personal loans tend to be fixed-rate.
Most lenders, including Axis Bank, use the reducing balance method for personal loans. This means each EMI goes partly toward principal and partly toward interest, and the interest portion is calculated on the remaining principal. As your principal balance gets smaller with every instalment, the interest portion for subsequent EMIs gradually reduces, making it more equitable than a flat interest method.
Reading your loan agreement in full is crucial so you know exactly what fees you might face. Surprises can be costly, especially if you’re not prepared.
