Buying a car in India involves understanding the auto loan terms that affect your monthly payments. This calculator helps you estimate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI), total interest paid, and loan amount based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure.
How to Use This Auto Loan Calculator
To calculate your auto loan details:
- Enter the loan amount you want to borrow in Indian Rupees (₹).
- Input the annual interest rate offered by the lender (typically between 8% and 15%).
- Select the loan tenure in years.
- Click "Calculate" to see your EMI, total interest, and total payment.
- Use the reset button to clear all fields and start over.
The calculator uses the standard EMI formula to provide accurate results. You can also visualize the loan amortization schedule with the chart.
Formula Used
The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is calculated using the following formula:
EMI Formula
EMI = 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 monthly installments (loan tenure in years × 12)
Total interest paid = (Number of installments × EMI) - Principal amount
Total payment = Principal amount + Total interest
Worked Example
Let's calculate the EMI for a ₹500,000 loan at 9% annual interest for 5 years (60 months).
- Convert annual interest rate to monthly: 9% ÷ 12 = 0.75% or 0.0075 in decimal.
- Calculate the EMI using the formula:
EMI = 500,000 × 0.0075 × (1 + 0.0075)^60 / [(1 + 0.0075)^60 - 1]
= ₹10,200.50 per month
- Total interest = (60 × 10,200.50) - 500,000 = ₹132,030
- Total payment = 500,000 + 132,030 = ₹632,030
This example shows that a ₹500,000 loan at 9% interest over 5 years would cost ₹10,200.50 per month with ₹132,030 in total interest.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between APR and EMI?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the annual interest rate charged on the loan, while EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed monthly payment amount that includes principal and interest. APR is used to calculate EMI.
How does loan tenure affect EMI?
A longer loan tenure reduces your EMI but increases the total interest paid. A shorter tenure increases your EMI but reduces the total interest. Choose a tenure that fits your budget and financial goals.
Can I prepay my auto loan?
Yes, many lenders allow prepayment of auto loans without penalties. Prepaying can save you money on interest, but check with your lender for any prepayment terms.
