I Built a Simple EMI Calculator Using Vanilla JavaScript

I wanted a clean and simple EMI calculator for a small personal project,
So I decided to build one using plain HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript.

No frameworks, no libraries — just the basics.

Features

  • Calculates monthly EMI instantly
  • Simple and clean UI
  • Mobile responsive layout
  • Built with HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS

Why I built it

Most EMI calculators online are overloaded with ads or unnecessary options.

I wanted something:

  • Easy to understand
  • Quick to use
  • Reusable in other small projects

Implementation overview

  • HTML handles the form structure and inputs
  • CSS is used for layout, spacing, and responsiveness
  • JavaScript handles:
    • EMI formula calculation
    • Input validation
    • Updating results dynamically

Live demo & source code

What I learned

  • Even small calculators benefit from good UX
  • Clear labels and defaults reduce user friction
  • Vanilla JavaScript is more than enough for focused tools

I’m building more small, practical web tools like this
to improve my front-end skills and share what I learn.

Feedback on the UI or logic is welcome.
