Formula Used

The monthly payment (P) is calculated using the formula:

Monthly Payment Formula

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

Where:

P = Monthly payment
L = Loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

The total interest paid is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the number of payments and subtracting the original loan amount.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:

Loan amount: AED 100,000
Annual interest rate: 5%
Loan term: 5 years

Using the formula:

Convert annual rate to monthly: 5% ÷ 12 = 0.4167% or 0.004167 in decimal
Number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
Plug into formula: P = 100,000 × (0.004167 × (1 + 0.004167)^60) / ((1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1)
Calculate: P ≈ AED 1,924.50 per month
Total interest paid: (1,924.50 × 60) - 100,000 = AED 11,070

This example shows that with a AED 100,000 loan at 5% interest over 5 years, you would pay approximately AED 1,924.50 per month with a total interest of AED 11,070.

FAQ

What is the difference between APR and APY?: APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple annual interest rate, while APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes compounding interest and fees. For most auto loans, APR is more commonly used.
How does the loan term affect my monthly payment?: A longer loan term means lower monthly payments but higher total interest paid. A shorter term means higher monthly payments but lower total interest.
What is the loan-to-value ratio?: The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is the percentage of the car's value that is being financed. It's calculated as (Loan Amount ÷ Car Value) × 100.
Are there any hidden fees in UAE auto loans?: Common fees include processing fees, documentation fees, and insurance premiums. These should be disclosed in the loan agreement and factored into your budget.
