Can I calculate EMIs for a doctor loan without knowing the interest rate?

Calculating the EMI for a doctor loan without knowing the interest rate is impossible, as the rate is a key input that impacts the EMI amount.

However, you can make a reasonable estimate using the following approach:

  1. Most doctor loans have interest rates in the range of 10% to 22% based on various factors. Assume a mid-point rate of say, 12-15% for your calculation.
  2. Use the following doctor loan EMI calculator formula; or you can use the doctor loan calculator to know the EMI.

EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N-1]

Where P is the loan amount, R is the monthly interest rate, and N is loan tenure in months.

  1. Input an assumed interest rate value based on the prevailing rate range. This will give you an estimated EMI range.
  2. Once you apply and the loan provider evaluates your profile, they will provide the specific rate of interest applicable to you.
  3. You can then recalculate the exact EMI using the precise interest rate offered to you.

So, while you cannot determine the exact EMI without knowing the interest rate, you can arrive at a ballpark figure using assumed rate range to aid your planning and decision making.
