To calculate the personal loan interest rate in rupees, you can use the following formula:
Formula:
Interest = (Principal x Rate x Time) / 100
Variables:
- Principal (P) = Loan amount (in rupees)
- Rate (R) = Annual interest rate (in percentage)
- Time (T) = Loan tenure (in years)
Steps:
- Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate: R = R/12
- Convert the loan tenure to months: T = T x 12
- Calculate the monthly interest: Interest = (P x R x T) / 100
- Calculate the total interest payable: Total Interest = Interest x T
Example:
Loan amount (P) = ₹2,00,000
Annual interest rate (R) = 12%
Loan tenure (T) = 5 years
Calculation:
- Monthly interest rate = 12%/12 = 1%
- Loan tenure in months = 5 x 12 = 60 months
- Monthly interest = (2,00,000 x 1% x 60) / 100 = ₹3,333
- Total interest payable = ₹3,333 x 60 = ₹1,99,980
EMI Calculation:
EMI = (Loan amount + Total interest) / Loan tenure
EMI = (2,00,000 + 1,99,980) / 60
EMI = ₹3,666
You can also use online personal loan calculators or consult with financial institutions to determine your interest rate.
