1. What is Auto Loan EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. For auto loans in India, EMI payments include both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment
• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (₹)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would pay off the loan over its term with interest.
