An EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) calculator tells you exactly how much you will pay every month on a loan. It is one of the most widely used financial tools in Canada because it removes the guesswork from borrowing — you know your exact commitment before you commit.
Enter your loan principal, the annual interest rate offered by your lender, and the repayment tenure. The calculator outputs your monthly EMI, the total amount payable, and the total interest charged. A month-by-month schedule shows how your balance reduces with each payment.
In Canada, a loan of $12,000 at 7% per annum for 60 months gives an EMI you can calculate above. Lenders such as RBC and TD Bank offer varying rates — use this tool to compare scenarios.
