Module C: Formula & Methodology Behind the Calculator

Our calculator uses the standard Equal Monthly Installment (EMI) formula approved by the State Bank of Pakistan for all regulated lenders:

EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N – 1]

Where:
P = Loan amount (principal)
R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
N = Loan term in months

Detailed Calculation Process:

1. Monthly Rate Conversion:

   Annual rate of 20% becomes monthly rate of 1.6667% (20 ÷ 12 ÷ 100)

2. EMI Calculation:

   For PKR 50,000 at 20% for 12 months:
   EMI = [50000 × 0.016667 × (1.016667)^12] / [(1.016667)^12 – 1] = PKR 4,614

3. Total Interest:

   (EMI × term) – principal = (4,614 × 12) – 50,000 = PKR 5,368

4. Amortization Schedule:

   Each payment covers both interest (reducing) and principal (increasing)

The calculator also generates a visual breakdown showing:

• Principal component (blue)
• Interest component (orange)
• Cumulative payments over time

Before Applying:

• Check eligibility: Minimum age 18, valid CNIC, active Easypaisa account
• Improve credit score: Pay utility bills through Easypaisa for 3 months prior
• Compare rates: Salaried employees can negotiate 1-2% lower rates
• Calculate DTI: Keep total EMIs below 30% of monthly income

During Repayment:

1. Set up auto-debit:
   • Link your bank account to Easypaisa
   • Avoid PKR 500 late payment fees
   • Maintains perfect repayment history
2. Make extra payments:
   • Even PKR 500 extra reduces interest
   • Shortens loan term significantly
   • Use the calculator to see savings
3. Monitor credit utilization:
   • Keep below 50% of approved limit
   • Avoid multiple loans simultaneously
   • Check free CIBIL report annually

If Facing Difficulty:

• Contact immediately: Easypaisa offers 7-day grace period

• Partial settlement: Pay 50%+ to close loan early with rebate
• Avoid defaults: Reported to CIBIL after 90 days, affects future borrowing

Module G: Interactive FAQ (Click to Expand)

What’s the minimum credit score needed for Easypaisa loan?

Easypaisa doesn’t use traditional credit scores but evaluates your transaction history. You need:

• At least 6 months of Easypaisa account activity
• Regular income deposits (salary/business)
• No bounced transactions
• Minimum PKR 10,000 monthly transactions

First-time borrowers start with smaller limits (PKR 5,000-20,000) that increase with good repayment history.

How does Easypaisa calculate interest – simple or compound?

Easypaisa uses reducing balance method (a form of compound interest) where:

1. Interest is calculated daily on outstanding balance
2. Each EMI payment reduces the principal
3. Subsequent interest is calculated on reduced amount

This is more borrower-friendly than flat rate calculation. For example, on PKR 100,000 at 20% for 12 months:

• First month interest: PKR 1,667
• Last month interest: PKR 292
• Total interest: PKR 8,312 (vs PKR 10,000 with flat rate)

Can I prepay my Easypaisa loan? What are the charges?

Yes, Easypaisa allows prepayment with these terms:

Prepayment Timing	Foreclosure Charges	Rebate on Interest
Within 3 months	5% of outstanding	None
3-6 months	3% of outstanding	25% of remaining interest
After 6 months	1% of outstanding	50% of remaining interest

Pro Tip: Use the calculator to compare prepayment savings vs continuing with EMIs. For loans over PKR 100,000, prepaying after 6 months often saves 12-15% of total interest.

What happens if I miss an Easypaisa loan payment?

Easypaisa has a structured late payment policy:

   • Credit score drop (100+ points)

Recovery Process: Easypaisa typically offers a 15-day grace period for first-time defaulters with a PKR 300 penalty waiver if paid in full.
