Car Loan EMI Calculator

Car loans finance vehicle purchases; they can be new or used car loans. These loans are often secured against the vehicle, giving lenders lower rates than unsecured personal loans. Loan tenures typically range from 1—7 years. Downpayments reduce principal and monthly EMIs; consider manufacturer discounts and insurance when budgeting.

What affects your car loan rate?

Factors include borrower credit score, loan-to-value (LTV), vehicle age (used cars carry higher rates), and lender offers. Manufacturer financing or dealer tie-ups sometimes provide promotional rates for new cars—always read the fine print for processing and documentation charges.

Worked example

Example: Loan ₹7,00,000 at 9% p.a. for 5 years ? EMI = ₹14,346. If you make a ₹1,00,000 downpayment, the principal reduces to ₹6,00,000 and EMI drops accordingly. Use the calculator to compare scenarios with varying downpayments and tenures.
