Cost breakdown
EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1) on reducing balance. True total cost = down payment + EMI × months + processing fee.
Next steps
- Get exact on-road price for your city before fixing the loan amount.
- Add fuel, insurance and maintenance — EMI is only ~60% of 5-year cost.
- Compare EV vs petrol savings to see if a higher EV EMI still wins overall.
How car loan EMI works
Banks in India charge interest on reducing balance. Every EMI pays interest for that month first, then reduces principal. That is why a 20% down payment and a 4-year tenure instead of 7 years saves far more interest than most buyers expect. Keep total car EMIs under 15–20% of take-home pay, and add ₹5,000–₹10,000 monthly running costs on top of the EMI.
Frequently asked questions
How is car loan EMI calculated monthly?
Using EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), where P is loan amount, r is monthly rate and n is months. Enter your numbers above for an instant result.
What is the minimum down payment for a car?
Usually 10% of on-road price for new cars (banks fund up to 90%), 15–25% for used cars. A 20%+ down payment is recommended to cut interest and improve approval odds.
Is a longer tenure better?
It lowers EMI but raises total interest sharply. A 7-year loan can cost 40–60% more interest than a 3-year loan. Prefer the shortest tenure whose EMI fits your budget.
