Understanding EMI Breakdown

How EMI Works

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) consists of two parts: Principal and Interest. Initially, a larger portion goes towards interest, while later payments have more principal component.

Principal vs Interest

  • Principal: The actual loan amount you borrowed
  • Interest: The cost of borrowing the money
  • Early payments have higher interest component
  • Later payments have higher principal component
