1. What is the Car Loan Payment Formula?

The car loan payment formula calculates the fixed monthly payment (EMI) required to repay a loan over a specified term. Toyota Financial Services typically offers rates between 5-7% p.a. for qualified buyers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (USD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12, in decimal)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly payments (term in months)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (USD)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest charges, calculating a fixed payment that fully amortizes the loan over its term.
