Reducing balance
EMI typically amortizes a loan so each payment covers interest and principal. Early payments are interest-heavy on standard schedules.
Tenure trade-offs
Longer tenures lower EMI but usually raise total interest paid. Always compare both numbers.
Fees
Processing fees, insurance, and floating rates change real cost. Educational calculators omit many lender-specific rules.
