How do I calculate my loan EMI in Nigeria?

To calculate loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) in Nigeria, use the formula: EMI = [P × r × (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n-1], where P = principal amount, r = monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), and n = number of months. For example, a ₦5M loan at 22% for 24 months = ₦267,851/month EMI.

Can I pay off my Nigerian bank loan early?
