No-Cost EMIs
No-Cost EMI is an Offer by which you pay your EMI provider only the product price, equally divided over your repayment timeline. You can create discounts on the offered products in such a way that they pay an EMI equal to the cost divided by the number of months of EMI.
Learn how you can create No-Cost EMIs on Razorpay Dashboard.
Let us consider the example of buying a mobile phone worth ₹15000 on No-Cost EMI on a 3-month EMI period. The bank charges 15% interest per annum. In this case, the retailer offers a discount of
Original Cost of Mobile Phone | No Cost EMI Discount Offered by Retailer | Net Cost of Phone | Total interest to be paid under EMI (In case of purchase on EMI) | Final Price | EMI for 3 months |
|---|
₹15000 | ₹367.33 | ₹14632.67 | ₹367.33 | ₹15000 | ₹5000 |
In the above example, the original price is discounted by ₹367.33. This cost is borne by the retailer. For a bank charging 15% interest per annum with an EMI period of 3 months, the discount is 2.45%. The discounted amount is ₹367.33 (₹15000 * 2.45%). Your customer will pay interest on a discounted amount of ₹14632.67. The interest paid by her would be ₹367.33.
EMI is generally calculated using the below formula:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1] |
|---|
where
P = Principal
R = Interest rate per month
N = Number of installations of the EMI
For the case of No-Cost EMI, the EMI value is calculated as A/N, where A is the price of the product.
From the above example, EMI is ₹15000/3 = ₹5000
We will replace this value in the above equation to calculate the value of P.
5000 = [P x (0.15/12) x (1+(0.15/12))^3]/[(1+(0.15/12))^3-1] |
|---|
P comes out to be ₹12333 and the discount borne by you is ₹367.33. This is equal to 2.45% of the original amount.
