1. What is the BPI Auto Loan Calculator?

The BPI Auto Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for a car loan from Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI). It uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate your fixed monthly payment amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

\[ PMT = P \times \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

\( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (PHP)
\( P \) — Principal loan amount (PHP)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Number of monthly payments

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount required to pay off a loan with interest over a specified period.

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and ensures the loan fits your financial situation before committing.
