The formula for calculating your loan payment depends on whether you choose an amortizing or interest-only loan. Examples of amortizing loans include car loans, mortgages and personal loans.
By contrast, an annual effective rate of interest is calculated by dividing the amount of interest earned during a one-year period by the balance of money at the beginning of the year. The present value (today) of a payment of 1 that is to be made n {\displaystyle \,n} years in the future is ( 1 − d ) n {\displaystyle \,{(1-d)}^{n}} .
The coupon payment frequency. 1 = annual, 2 = semi-annual, 4 = quarterly, 12 = monthly, etc. Principal Par value of the investment. (Also known as "face value", "nominal value" or just "par"). In the case of an amortizing bond, it is the unpaid principal = outstanding principal amount (OPA) = principal balance.
Converting an annual interest rate (that is to say, annual percentage yield or APY) to the monthly rate is not as simple as dividing by 12; see the formula and discussion in APR. However, if the rate is stated in terms of "APR" and not "annual interest rate", then dividing by 12 is an appropriate means of determining the monthly interest rate.
This amortization schedule is based on the following assumptions: First, it should be known that rounding errors occur and, depending on how the lender accumulates these errors, the blended payment (principal plus interest) may vary slightly some months to keep these errors from accumulating; or, the accumulated errors are adjusted for at the end of each year or at the final loan payment.
is the time in years until the th payment will be received (e.g. a two-year semi-annual would be represented by a index of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0), y k {\displaystyle y_{k}} is the yield to maturity for an asset, periodically compounded

The formula for EMI (in arrears) is: [2] = (+) or, equivalently, = (+) (+) Where: P is the principal amount borrowed, A is the periodic amortization payment, r is the annual interest rate divided by 100 (annual interest rate also divided by 12 in case of monthly installments), and n is the total number of payments (for a 30-year loan with monthly payments n = 30 × 12 = 360).
