1. What is Auto Loan Payment Calculation?

The auto loan payment calculation determines your fixed monthly payment amount based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. In UAE, banks typically limit car loan payments to 50% of your monthly salary.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the life of the loan to determine a fixed monthly payment that will pay off the loan completely by the end of the term.
