Loans & EMI
EMI and loan tracker without a black-box schedule
Most EMI apps project a chart. expenie tracks remaining principal and records the payment split you actually make — principal, interest, charges — next to your expense ledger.

In short
What is this?
expenie loan tracking is manual on purpose. You create payable or receivable loans, set remaining principal, and record EMI components yourself. There is no automatic amortization engine in v1. Free includes 1 open loan; Pro lifts that cap. Loan lines stay consistent with the statement.
Problem
Loans live in five apps
Bank EMI screens, friend IOUs, and a spreadsheet that drifted. Projected charts don't match last month's receipt.
expenie
Principal as a record
I'd rather leave interest blank than invent a schedule that disagrees with the lender. You enter what you know.
What you get
Built into the same workspace
Payable and receivable
Money you owe, or money someone owes you. Same careful remaining principal.
EMI fields you own
Optional EMI amount, total EMIs, EMIs paid. Due dates stay anchored so month-end doesn't drift.
Split the payment
Principal reduces remaining. Interest and charges book as their own parts. Your numbers, not a forced formula.
Same workspace as spend
Loans sit with expenses and budgets. You're not juggling a calculator app and a budget app.
How it works
Three steps
- 01
Create a loan
Name it. Set original and remaining principal. Choose payable or receivable.
- 02
Record a payment
Enter principal, interest, and charges as you know them from the lender or agreement.
- 03
Watch remaining
Paid-up loans get clear UX. Open loans count toward Free limits until you close them.

Common questions
Does expenie calculate EMI amortization for me?
No. v1 has no amortization engine. You enter principal, interest, and charges when you record a payment. Calculators elsewhere can project; this app records.
Are open loans limited?
Open loans are unlimited during trial and on Pro.
Can I link a recurring EMI?
On Pro, an expense recurring rule can link to a loan. Confirming the due posts the expense and reduces principal in that linked flow.
Is a loan the same as a credit card account?
No. Credit card accounts track balance from day-to-day transactions. Loans track principal you owe or are owed, separately.
