EMI (Equated Monthly Installment)

EMI is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each month. EMIs are calculated using the formula:

EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n]/[(1 + r)^n - 1]

Where:
P = Principal loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate
n = Number of monthly installments

NPV Calculator for Real Estate

Net Present Value (NPV) is a financial metric that calculates the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows over a period of time. For real estate investments, this helps determine if rental income and potential property appreciation justify the initial investment.

NPV = Initial Investment + Σ (Cash Flow_t / (1+r)^t) + (Final Sale Value / (1+r)^n)

Where:
r = Discount rate
t = Time period
n = Total number of periods

Retirement Planning

Retirement Planning involves calculating how much you need to save regularly to meet your retirement goals. This calculator uses the compound interest formula and accounts for inflation to give a realistic picture of your future needs.

FV = P × (1 + r)^n + PMT × ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r × (1 + r)

Where:
FV = Future Value needed
P = Initial principal
r = Interest rate
n = Number of periods
PMT = Regular payment amount
