Worked Examples
Example 1: Standard Loan
Vehicle price: PKR 5,000,000
Down payment: PKR 1,000,000
Loan term: 5 years
Interest rate: 12% APR
Calculation:
- Principal = 5,000,000 - 1,000,000 = PKR 4,000,000
- Monthly rate = 12% / 12 = 1% = 0.01
- Number of payments = 5 * 12 = 60
- Monthly payment = 4,000,000 * (0.01(1+0.01)^60) / ((1+0.01)^60 - 1) ≈ PKR 102,500
- Total interest = (102,500 * 60) - 4,000,000 ≈ PKR 215,000
Example 2: Short-Term Loan
Vehicle price: PKR 3,500,000
Down payment: PKR 500,000
Loan term: 3 years
Interest rate: 10% APR
Calculation:
- Principal = 3,500,000 - 500,000 = PKR 3,000,000
- Monthly rate = 10% / 12 ≈ 0.00833
- Number of payments = 3 * 12 = 36
- Monthly payment ≈ PKR 115,000
- Total interest ≈ PKR 138,000
