Auto Loan Calculator in Pakistan

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Buying a car in Pakistan often involves taking an auto loan. This calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments, total interest, and loan repayment schedule based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.

How to Use This Calculator

To calculate your auto loan payments in Pakistan:

  1. Enter the loan amount in Pakistani Rupees (PKR).
  2. Enter the annual interest rate (APR).
  3. Select the loan term in years.
  4. Click "Calculate" to see your monthly payment, total interest, and loan amortization schedule.

The calculator uses the standard loan amortization formula to provide accurate results. You can also view a chart showing the breakdown of principal and interest payments over the loan term.

Formula Used

The monthly payment for an auto loan is calculated using the following formula:

Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

  • P = Principal loan amount
  • r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
  • n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Total interest paid is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total amount paid over the life of the loan.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to borrow PKR 5,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 12% for 5 years.

  1. Monthly interest rate = 12% ÷ 12 = 1%
  2. Number of payments = 5 years × 12 = 60
  3. Monthly payment = 5,000,000 × (0.01 × (1 + 0.01)^60) / ((1 + 0.01)^60 - 1) ≈ PKR 106,750
  4. Total amount paid = 106,750 × 60 ≈ PKR 6,405,000
  5. Total interest = 6,405,000 - 5,000,000 = PKR 1,405,000

Using the calculator, you can see the exact monthly payment, total interest, and loan amortization schedule for this scenario.
