1. What is the HDFC Vehicle Loan Calculator?

The HDFC Vehicle Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for vehicle loans from HDFC Bank, with interest rates starting at 7.95% p.a. It uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your EMI (Equated Monthly Installment).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in months)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (INR)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest payment over the loan term, with interest calculated on the reducing balance.

3. Importance of Loan Payment Calculation
