1. What is Car 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 car loans in UAE, EMI includes both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

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

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

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

4. Using the Calculator

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