Each Personal Loan EMI consists of both amounts of interest as well as the principal repaid. The interest component of EMI goes down while the principal component goes up in both cases while doing the calculation.

In the above illustration, on a Personal Loan of ₹ 2.50 Lakh, taken at the lowest interest rate of 10.40%, EMI paid is ₹ 6,389 and an annual total of EMIs is ₹ 76,665, the interest component is ₹ 23,514 while the principal component is ₹ 53,152 in year 1 of loan disbursement. You repay only 21.26% of the total principal after paying 12 EMIs during the first year.

In year 4, the interest component of EMI is around 5.41%, while the principal component is around 94.59%. Upto 4 years, you have cumulatively repaid 100% of your total Personal Loan.

P*r* (1+r)^n/([(1+r)^n]-1)

Here is an illustration of how Indian Overseas Bank Personal Loan EMI is calculated:

In the above formula,

P = Loan amount. This can range from ₹ 50,000 to ₹ 15 Lakh

r = Rate of interest per month. Current rate is 11.50%

n = tenure in month. For Indian Overseas Bank, this can be 60 months

As a borrower, calculating right amount of EMI is a function of your loan requirement, your monthly income, repayment capacity as well as the amount of monthly instalment you can afford to pay out from your monthly income. As a guide, follow the below steps to estimate the EMI amount that is advisable for you.

• Decide the amount you need to borrow: It is important that before approaching a bank for loan, you need to estimate the amount of loan you need to borrow. Remember, a personal loan is an unsecured loan that can come at high interest rates and hence, it is advisable to limit your loan amount to the minimum required. Also, based on the EMI you can service, try to opt for the lowest tenure of loans as long tenure loans result in huge interest outgo.
• Review your current obligations: Before taking a loan, it is advisable to evaluate your current monthly expenses including any EMI obligations that you have on your current loan accounts. The assessment will help you to estimate the amount of EMI you can pay comfortably after taking into account other obligations. Once you arrive at the EMI you can service, you can also decide on the right loan tenure.
• Calculate your Indian Overseas Bank personal loan eligibility: Your loan eligibility is a function of an assessment of your repayment capacity based on your monthly income and other fixed obligations.
  
  • Multiplier based loan amount eligibility - Indian Overseas Bank calculates your loan amount eligibility by applying a multiplier to your net-take home salary. This is the simplest method for calculating loan eligibility used by banks. The formula used in the loan amount eligibility calculation is: Loan Eligibility = (Your Net Salary) x (multiplier of 9 to 18). The multiplier depends on the bank’s internal categorization of your employer company based on its reputation, stability, size, and growth in turnover.
  • FOIR based loan amount eligibility - Indian Overseas Bank will also estimate your Fixed Income to Obligations Ratio (FOIR) to ascertain the maximum EMI you can service based on your current income and other monthly expenses. The bank applies a certain ratio to your income to estimate your monthly expenses and then adds your other EMI obligations to calculate your fixed obligations. The proportion of fixed income to your calculated fixed obligations gives your FOIR. Indian Overseas Bank lends up to a maximum FOIR of 0.45. Based on the FOIR, the bank will also estimate the maximum amount of EMI you can service as a borrower. Indian Overseas Bank's assessment may be different from your assessment. Any differences in assessment may require you to readjust your loan amount requirement. You may also consider paying back other running short term loans to improve your eligibility.
  • Indian Overseas Bank will calculate your loan amount eligibility based on the above two methods and will sanction you a lower loan amount arrived at by the above two methods.

• Purpose of Loan: Indian Overseas Bank personal loan is taken to funding medical treatment in case of emergencies, paying additional debts, marriage expenses and other personal finance requirements.

• Indian Overseas Bank personal loan calculator are online tools which give out EMI calculations using a combination of loan amount, interest rate and loan tenure.
• Indian Overseas Bank EMI calculator considers “reducing balance basis” and assumes that payment of EMI is made in arrears (means interest is charged for the month preceding the EMI payment date) and not in advance.

In case you prepay your personal loan, the outstanding balance on your loan reduces. In this scenario, Indian Overseas Bank will allow you to reduce your loan tenure or reduce your EMI. The right decision is dependent on you monthly budget and personal preference. You should opt to reduce your EMI if you want to have a higher monthly spend budget or you should opt to lower your tenure if you want to save on your total interest outgo and want to close your loan quickly. You can calculate the change in your EMI by inputting the outstanding personal loan amount from Indian Overseas Bank, the interest rate and the remaining tenure in the EMI calculator.
