1. What is the HDFC Car Loan EMI Calculator?

The HDFC Car Loan EMI Calculator helps you estimate your monthly Equated Monthly Installments (EMI) for a car loan from HDFC Bank. It uses standard loan amortization formulas to provide accurate payment estimates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan term to calculate fixed monthly payments that pay off the loan completely by the end of the term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating your EMI beforehand helps in financial planning, ensuring the loan payments fit within your monthly budget and you can comfortably afford the car.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
