ICICI Personal Loan EMI Calculator
A personal loan is an unsecured loan you can use for almost anything — a wedding, a medical bill, debt consolidation, or a big purchase — and the EMI is the fixed amount you repay each month until it clears. This calculator estimates the monthly EMI on an ICICI Bank personal loan, the total interest, and how much of your repayment goes to principal versus interest. Because personal loans are unsecured and have no collateral, they usually carry higher rates and shorter tenures than secured loans, so getting the numbers right before you borrow is worth a few minutes.
- Principal
- ₹5,00,000

- Total Payment

Formula
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1]
- P
- Principal — the personal loan amount you borrow.
- r
- Monthly interest rate = annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100.
- n
- Repayment tenure in months (years × 12).
Personal loans are typically offered at a fixed rate for the full tenure, so your EMI usually stays the same every month — but the rate you are offered depends heavily on your credit profile and income.
Worked example
Suppose you take a ₹5,00,000 ICICI Bank personal loan at an indicative rate of 10.85% per annum for a tenure of 5 years (60 months).
- Loan Amount (P)
- ₹5,00,000
- Annual Interest Rate
- 10.85% (indicative)
- Tenure
- 5 years (60 months)
The monthly EMI is about ₹10,834. Over the 5-year term you repay roughly ₹6,50,031 in total, of which around ₹1,50,031 is interest. A shorter tenure would raise the EMI but noticeably cut that interest figure.
Year-by-year repayment breakdown
Based on the default ICICI Personal Loan EMI Calculator values above — the loan amount, interest rate and tenure shown in the calculator. Adjust the sliders to recalculate your own figures.
- Monthly EMI
- ₹10,834
- Total interest
- ₹1,50,031
- Total payment
- ₹6,50,031
- Interest / principal
- 30%
In the first year, about 39% of what you pay goes towards interest rather than reducing the balance. From year 1 onwards, more of each year's payments goes to principal than to interest.
| Year | Principal paid | Interest paid | Total paid | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2 | ₹88,726 | ₹41,283 | ₹1,30,009 | ₹3.32 Lakh |
| 3 | ₹98,845 | ₹31,163 | ₹1,30,008 | ₹2.33 Lakh |
| 4 | ₹1,10,120 | ₹19,888 | ₹1,30,008 | ₹1.23 Lakh |

How this calculator works
Enter the amount you need, an interest rate, and the tenure, and the calculator instantly shows your monthly EMI plus the total interest and the principal-versus-interest split. Personal loans move fast, so this lets you test a few combinations — a smaller amount, a shorter tenure, a different rate — and see immediately how each one affects your monthly commitment before you submit an application.
Borrowing sensibly
Because personal loans are easy to access, it is tempting to borrow more than you need. Borrow only the amount that solves the problem at hand, and keep the EMI comfortably within your monthly budget so it does not crowd out savings or other commitments. A shorter tenure costs more each month but far less in total interest, so lean toward the shortest term you can comfortably service.
Tips before you apply
- Treat 10.85% as a placeholder and get your personalised rate from ICICI Bank.
- Borrow only what you genuinely need to keep total interest down.
- Favour a shorter tenure if your cash flow allows it.
- Read the fine print on processing fees and prepayment or foreclosure charges.
- A strong credit score is your best tool for securing a lower rate on an unsecured loan.
Frequently asked questions
How is an ICICI Bank personal loan EMI calculated?
It uses the reducing-balance formula EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ [(1+r)ⁿ − 1]. Even though the EMI stays level on a fixed-rate personal loan, the interest portion is highest in the first months and falls as the outstanding principal reduces.
Is 10.85% the rate ICICI Bank will charge me?
No. It is an indicative rate for illustration only. Personal loan rates are heavily risk-based and depend on your credit score, income, employer, and existing obligations. Your actual rate could be higher or lower, so confirm it directly with ICICI Bank.
Why are personal loan rates higher than home or car loans?
Because a personal loan is unsecured — there is no asset backing it. The lender takes on more risk than with a secured loan, and that risk is priced into a higher interest rate and usually a shorter maximum tenure.
Can I prepay or foreclose my personal loan?
Usually yes, though personal loans may carry prepayment or foreclosure charges, and some lenders require a minimum number of EMIs to be paid first. Check ICICI Bank's specific terms, because prepaying early still saves meaningful interest despite any fee.
What does the EMI figure leave out?
It covers only principal and interest. Processing fees, GST on charges, and any insurance or documentation costs are separate and set by ICICI Bank, so add them in when comparing the real cost of the loan.
