An EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) includes both principal and interest. It is the fixed amount you pay every month until your education loan is fully repaid. In the early years of the loan, a larger portion of your EMI goes towards interest. As the loan tenure progresses, a higher portion is adjusted towards the principal amount. An Education Loan EMI Calculator helps you estimate your monthly EMI in advance, so you can plan your finances better before applying for a loan.
The EMI for an education loan is calculated using the following formula:
EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^n] / [(1+R)^n − 1]
Where:
Miss Sheetal takes an education loan of ₹15,00,000 at an annual interest rate of 10% for 2 years.
Based on the formula, the monthly EMI will be ₹69,217.
Note: Actual EMI may vary based on lender terms and interest rate structure.
An education loan is a financial facility that helps students fund higher education in India or abroad. These loans cover expenses such as:
Most lenders allow repayment after course completion, usually with a grace period of 6-12 months.
Education loans reduce the burden on family savings and avoid liquidation of investments like FDs or mutual funds. Interest paid is tax-deductible under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act.
Students start repayment only after completing their education, making it easier to manage finances once employed.
Loans for higher studies—especially abroad—cover tuition, accommodation, travel, study material, and more.
Banks offer competitive interest rates, flexible tenure, and relaxed collateral requirements for reputed institutions.
Repaying an education loan responsibly helps students build a strong credit score early.
