Teaching & troubleshooting tips

Does EMI stay constant for floating rates?

Only fixed rates guarantee a constant EMI. For floating loans, rerun the calculator whenever the lender adjusts the APR.

How do extra payments affect EMI?

Prepayments reduce principal and shorten the schedule, but the EMI itself stays the same unless the lender recalculates the loan.
