> The car loan emi calculator works out the EMI (equated monthly instalment) on a car loan from the loan amount, interest rate and tenure – with the total interest, total payment, processing fee and the effective rate including the fee.

## Inputs

- Loan amount
- Interest rate (p.a.) (%)
- Loan tenure (years, months)
- Processing fee (%)

## Results

- Monthly EMI
- Total interest payable
- Total payment (principal + interest)
- Processing fee (+18% GST)
- Interest as a share of the total payment
- Effective annual rate including the fee

## Formula

```
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n ÷ ((1 + r)^n − 1), r = annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100, n = months
Total interest = EMI × n − P
```

## Explanation

Car loans in India commonly run up to 7 years with rates around 8.5–11% for new cars. Banks finance up to 90–100% of the on-road price for strong borrowers.

### How to use the Car Loan EMI Calculator

- **Loan amount**
- **Interest rate (p.a.)**
- **Loan tenure**
- **Processing fee**

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

Enter the loan amount, interest rate, tenure (years or months) and processing fee.

### Tips

- Figures use the latest published rates; government scheme rates are revised every quarter.
- Choose between the old and new tax regimes carefully – deductions only count in the old regime.
- Keep proofs of investments and rent for your employer and the tax return.
- Use the official portal of each scheme for exact maturity values.

### Common mistakes to avoid

- Assuming scheme interest rates are fixed for the whole term.
- Forgetting tax on interest from fixed and recurring deposits.
- Missing the yearly minimum deposit on PPF or Sukanya Samriddhi accounts.

### What each result means

- **Monthly EMI** = pmt([Interest rate (p.a.)]÷1200, [Loan tenure], [Loan amount])
- **Total interest payable** = [Monthly EMI]×[Loan tenure] - [Loan amount]
- **Total payment (principal + interest)** = [Monthly EMI]×[Loan tenure]
- **Processing fee (+18% GST)** = [Loan amount]×[Processing fee]÷100×1.18
- **Interest as a share of the total payment** = [Total interest payable]÷[Total payment (principal + interest)]×100
- **Effective annual rate including the fee** = rate([Loan tenure], 0 - [Monthly EMI], [Loan amount] - [Processing fee (+18% GST)])×1200
