EMI and salary needed for each iPad mini variant
Apple’s new iPad mini, with the A20 Pro chip and an OLED screen, went on sale in India on 6 November 2026. Apple India’s list prices, checked on apple.com/in on 9 November 2026, are ₹82,900 (128GB Wi‑Fi), ₹94,900 (256GB Wi‑Fi), ₹1,18,900 (512GB Wi‑Fi) and ₹1,00,900 (128GB Wi‑Fi + Cellular). The table puts the full price on EMI at an example 15% for 12 months, with no down payment.
The last column is double the EMI. It is the pay at which this single instalment takes half of what reaches your bank account. Lenders call that share FOIR. Both 15% and 50% are examples, and the column assumes you have no other loan.
| Variant (list price) | EMI | Total interest | Take-home at 50% FOIR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 128GB Wi‑Fi (₹82,900) | ₹7,482 | ₹6,884 | ₹14,964 |
| 256GB Wi‑Fi (₹94,900) | ₹8,566 | ₹7,892 | ₹17,132 |
| 512GB Wi‑Fi (₹1,18,900) | ₹10,732 | ₹9,884 | ₹21,464 |
| 128GB Wi‑Fi + Cellular (₹1,00,900) | ₹9,107 | ₹8,384 | ₹18,214 |
What cellular and the Apple Pencil Pro add each month
Cellular is ₹18,000 more than the 128GB Wi‑Fi model. At the same example 15% over 12 months, it raises the EMI by ₹1,625 a month. It adds ₹1,500 of interest, so you pay ₹19,500 more in total.
Apple India lists the Apple Pencil Pro at ₹11,900. Adding it to the 128GB Wi‑Fi order puts ₹94,800 on EMI. That raises the EMI by ₹1,074 a month and adds ₹988 of interest, so you pay ₹12,888 more in total. An accessory on EMI costs interest like the tablet does.
Shorter or longer: 6 to 24 months on ₹82,900
Keep 15% and change the term. 6 months: ₹14,427 a month, ₹3,662 interest. 12 months: ₹7,482 a month, ₹6,884 interest. 18 months: ₹5,172 a month, ₹10,196 interest. 24 months: ₹4,020 a month, ₹13,580 interest.
Moving from 6 to 12 months cuts the instalment by ₹6,945 and costs ₹3,222 more interest. Moving from 12 to 24 cuts it by a further ₹3,462 and costs ₹6,696 more interest.
Month one of the EMI, and the save-first option
Month one: ₹1,036 of the ₹7,482 instalment is interest; ₹6,446 pays down the price. After six instalments the balance left is ₹42,992. The full year costs ₹89,784.
Saving instead: ₹82,900 split over 12 months is ₹6,908 a month, not counting any interest earned. That is ₹574 a month less than the EMI.
If the offer says No Cost EMI
No Cost EMI offers come and go, and the terms depend on the seller and your card. If one is running, ₹82,900 over 12 months at no interest is ₹6,908 a month.
With No Cost EMI, the seller usually knocks the interest off the price. You still pay 18% GST on that interest, plus any processing fee. Here the interest would be ₹6,884, so the GST on it comes to ₹1,239. Our no-cost EMI guide shows the full sum. A card EMI also holds part of your limit until the last instalment clears.
