1. What is the RACV Car Loan EMI Calculator?

The RACV Car Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments (EMI) for car loans in Australia. It uses the standard EMI formula to calculate your repayment amount based on loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the 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 (EMI) in AUD

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Understanding Car Loan EMI

Details: Your EMI consists of both principal repayment and interest charges. In early payments, more goes toward interest; later payments have higher principal components. RACV rates typically range from 5.69% to 8.99% p.a.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in AUD, annual interest rate (5.69-8.99% for RACV), and loan term in years (1-10 years typical). The calculator will show your monthly EMI, total repayment, and total interest.
