Two interest methods
Compare reducing-balance and flat-rate estimates instead of assuming every lender uses the same formula.
Estimate monthly EMI, total interest and repayment cost for a Bangladesh loan. Compare reducing-balance and flat-rate methods in BDT, add fees or extra payments, and view a clear repayment schedule.
Choose the interest method, enter the annual rate and term, then add fees or an optional extra payment to see how the estimate changes.
Interest falls as the balance falls.
For a reducing-balance loan, the monthly interest is applied to the remaining balance and the payment is recalculated across the term. For a flat-rate estimate, interest is applied to the original amount. The right method depends on the lender's contract, so compare the method shown in your offer before using the result.
Reducing EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)Bank calculators often return one monthly number. This page helps you understand the full cost before you compare a personal, home, car or other loan offer.

For a BDT 500,000 loan at 10% annual interest over 3 years, the reducing-balance result separates the monthly payment from the total cost.
The regular EMI needed when no extra payment is made.
The interest portion falls as the outstanding balance is paid down.
Adding an extra BDT 2,000 each month can shorten the estimated payoff period, but the lender's settlement rules still apply.
A loan calculator can compare numbers, but it cannot know a lender's disbursement date, insurance, VAT, schedule of charges or early-settlement policy. Enter the annual rate and method stated in your document, keep fees separate, and confirm the final repayment schedule with the bank.
Review all four figures before deciding whether a loan fits your budget.
| Figure | What it shows | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly payment | Regular principal and interest | Your monthly budget |
| Total interest | Interest across the estimate | The price of borrowing |
| Total repayment | Principal plus scheduled interest | The amount paid through installments |
| Total cost with fees | Repayment plus entered fees | A closer planning estimate |
Use the lender's current rate. Rates can change by product, borrower profile and approval date. Do not rely on a remembered or advertised rate.
Check fees outside the EMI. Processing fees, insurance, VAT and late charges may not be included unless you enter them.
Confirm the contract method. Reducing-balance and flat-rate numbers are not interchangeable. Compare the calculator method with your offer letter.
Protect your monthly budget. A lower EMI over a longer term can cost more interest. Compare total repayment, not only the monthly figure.

Add an estimated extra monthly payment or one-time prepayment and compare the resulting payoff period. Check your contract first because early-settlement fees or limits can change the real result.
A bank may use a different interest method, disbursement date, day-count convention, rounding rule, insurance, fees or first-payment date. This page is a planning estimate, not a final repayment schedule.
