1. What is the Car Loan EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates your fixed monthly payment for a car loan. This formula is used by CBA Malaysia and most financial institutions to determine loan repayments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of your loan payment, with more interest paid early in the loan term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Understanding your EMI helps in budgeting and financial planning. It allows you to assess affordability before committing to a car loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in AUD, annual interest rate (typically 5.99-8.99% for CBA Malaysia), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
