Car Loan Calculator
Calculate the monthly instalment and interest cost of a car or two-wheeler loan.
Inputs
Formula
- EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1)
- r = annual rate / 12 / 100, n = tenure in months
- Total interest = EMI × n − P
Banks charge interest on the outstanding balance, so every EMI is part interest and part principal. Early instalments are mostly interest; later ones repay principal. Change the tenure to see how a shorter loan cuts total interest sharply even though the monthly payment rises.

Tips
- A 0.5% lower rate or one extra EMI a year can save a large chunk of total interest.
- Compare the total cost, not just the EMI — a longer tenure always costs more.
Frequently asked questions
Is the processing fee included in the EMI?
No. It is a one-time charge, so it is shown separately in the total outgo.
Can I prepay?
Most floating-rate retail loans allow prepayment without penalty. Prepaying early saves the most interest.
