A: Reducing balance method calculates interest on the outstanding principal amount, which decreases as EMI payments are made, resulting in lower interest over time compared to flat interest rates.

A: Monthly rate is the annual interest rate divided by 12. This calculator uses monthly rate directly for more accurate monthly interest calculations.

Q3: Can this calculator be used for other banks?
A: While designed for IDFC loans, the reducing balance method is standard across most banks, making this calculator applicable for similar loan products from other financial institutions.

Q4: Does this include processing fees or other charges?
A: No, this calculator only computes the interest component. Additional charges like processing fees, insurance, or other bank charges are not included in this calculation.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation for actual loan EMIs?
A: This provides the interest component only. For complete EMI calculation, principal repayment component needs to be added using standard amortization formulas.
