Car Loan EMI Calculator

Calculate car-loan EMI and total borrowing cost. Enter your loan amount, annual interest rate and loan term to estimate the monthly EMI, total interest and total repayment.

Enter the total purchase price of the car.

The upfront amount paid toward the car.

Automatically calculated as car price minus down payment. You can also adjust it manually.

%

Annual interest rate charged on the car loan.

years

The number of years used to repay the car loan.

Optional lender processing fee added to the overall borrowing cost.

EMIs

Enter how many additional regular EMIs you plan to pay each year. Use 0 for no extra EMI.

Optional extra lump-sum amount paid once each year toward the loan principal.

Enhanced loan analysis

The calculator estimates your EMI and borrowing cost, then shows how extra EMIs and annual prepayments could shorten the loan and reduce interest.

Extra EMI & Prepayment Savings

Extra payments can reduce the outstanding principal faster. Enter extra EMIs and/or an annual prepayment above to estimate how much earlier the car loan could finish and how much interest could be saved.

Car Loan EMI Formula

Monthly EMI = P × [r(1 + r)ⁿ] ÷ [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1] Where: P = Loan amount r = Monthly interest rate = Annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100 n = Total number of monthly payments = Loan term × 12 Total Repayment = Monthly EMI × n Total Interest = Total Repayment − Loan Amount If the interest rate is 0%: Monthly EMI = Loan Amount ÷ n

This calculator estimates the EMI, principal and interest for a standard amortizing car loan. Processing fees are shown separately in total cost. Taxes, registration, insurance, dealer charges and other vehicle costs are not included. Extra EMI and annual prepayment savings are estimated separately.

Example Car Loan EMI Calculation

1,200,000 car price with 200,000 down payment at 9% for 5 years

Given:

  • Car Price = 1,200,000
  • Down Payment = 200,000
  • Loan Amount = 1,000,000
  • Annual Interest Rate = 9%
  • Loan Term = 5 years

Monthly rate:

9% ÷ 12 = 0.75% per month

Total payments:

5 × 12 = 60 monthly payments

Result: Monthly EMI ≈ 20,758.14

Total Repayment ≈ 1,245,488.40.

Total Interest ≈ 245,488.40.

Frequently Asked Questions

The processing fee is an optional input for lender charges. It is added to total borrowing cost but is not included in the EMI interest calculation.
Extra EMIs reduce the outstanding principal faster. The calculator estimates the resulting reduction in loan duration and interest cost.
It is an additional lump-sum amount paid once each year toward the outstanding loan balance, separate from the regular EMI payments.
A car loan calculator estimates monthly payments, total interest and total repayment using the amount financed, interest rate and loan term.
The calculator uses the standard amortizing-loan formula based on the loan principal, monthly interest rate and total number of payments.
Yes. A larger down payment generally reduces the amount that needs to be financed, which can lower the monthly payment and total interest.
Generally, yes. A longer term spreads repayment over more months, but it can increase the total interest paid.
No. This calculator estimates the loan principal and interest only. Vehicle insurance, registration, taxes and other ownership costs are separate.
Yes. At 0% interest, the financed amount is divided evenly across the total number of monthly payments.
