Formula

EMI = P × R × (1+R)N / [(1+R)N − 1]
Total Cost = (EMI × N) + Processing Fee
Effective APR ≈ stated rate + (processing fee / tenure)

Personal loans are unsecured and carry higher rates than home or car loans. Always compare the Effective APR (Annual Percentage Rate) — not just the interest rate — as it includes all fees.
