Credit Card EMI Calculator
Converting a large credit card bill or purchase into Equated Monthly Installments (EMI) can help you manage your monthly cash flows better. The Credit Card EMI Calculator helps you compute exactly how much you will pay each month, factoring in the interest rate and applicable taxes.
How does the Credit Card EMI Calculator work?
When you opt for an EMI conversion on your credit card, the bank charges you an interest rate, a one-time processing fee, and an 18% GST on the interest and processing fee components. This calculator automatically incorporates these hidden costs to give you the exact outgoing amount.
What components make up the Total Payment?
- Principal Amount: The original transaction or bill amount converted to EMI.
- Interest: The interest charged by the bank on the outstanding balance.
- GST on Interest: According to Indian regulations, an 18% GST is levied on the interest component of the EMI.
- Processing Fee: A one-time fee charged by the bank for converting the transaction into an EMI.
- GST on Processing Fee: An 18% GST is also applied on the processing fee.
Example:
Suppose you convert a transaction of โน50,000 into a 6-month EMI at an interest rate of 15% p.a. with a 1% processing fee.
Principal = โน50,000
Interest for 6 months = โน2,207
GST on Interest (18%) = โน397
Processing Fee (1% of 50k) = โน500
GST on Processing Fee (18%) = โน90
Your total payment over 6 months will be โน53,194, and your actual monthly EMI (including GST on interest) will be approximately โน8,767.
Why use the Credit Card EMI Calculator?
- Uncover Hidden Costs: Banks often highlight low interest rates but leave out the GST component. This calculator helps you see the true cost of conversion.
- Plan Your Cash Flows: Knowing the exact monthly outgoing amount helps you budget better.
- Compare Options: You can quickly compare different tenure options to see which EMI fits your monthly budget while keeping the total interest cost as low as possible.
