What is a Car Loan Calculator?
A Car Loan Calculator estimates your monthly installment for financing a vehicle purchase. It accounts for principal, interest rate, and tenure so you can understand both EMI and total repayment. This makes it easier to choose between models, lenders, and down payment options with financial discipline.
Car Loan EMI Formula
- P = Vehicle loan principal after down payment/trade-in
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100)
- n = Total monthly installments

Worked example
Given: Car loan = Rs 8,00,000, Annual interest = 10%, Tenure = 5 years (60 months).
Monthly rate r = 10/12/100 = 0.008333, n = 60.
Estimated EMI is approximately Rs 16,998 per month.
Total repayment is around Rs 10,19,880 and total interest is roughly Rs 2,19,880.
