1. What is SBI Car Loan EMI?

The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for an SBI car loan is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes each month to repay the loan over the chosen tenure. It includes both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula used by SBI:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that will completely pay off the loan (principal + interest) over the specified tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment, compare loan offers, and plan their budget before taking a car loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in INR, annual interest rate (as offered by SBI), and loan tenure in years. All values must be positive numbers.
