1. What is the Car Loan Payment Formula?

The car 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 (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment needed to fully amortize the loan over its term, accounting for both principal and interest.

3. Importance of Loan Payment Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and ensures the loan is affordable. It also allows comparison between different loan offers.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total loan amount in AED, annual interest rate (as offered by UAE banks), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
