1. What is the Auto Loan Payment Formula?

The auto loan payment formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a car loan over a specified term. It accounts for the principal amount, interest rate, and loan duration.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment (AED)
• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (AED)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (term in years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment that covers both principal and interest each month.
