The Math Behind Car Loan EMI Calculator
When you take a loan, banks calculate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) using the reducing balance method. Understanding the exact breakdown of your principal and interest over the tenure helps you make informed financial decisions.
1. Depreciation vs Loan
Vehicles depreciate rapidly (15-20% in year one). Taking a 7-year loan means you might owe more than the car is worth. Keep tenures short (3-4 years).
2. Avoid Flat Rates
Dealerships often quote 'Flat Rates' to make the loan sound cheap. Always insist on a reducing balance calculation to know your true interest outgo.
3. Dealer Markups
Dealers bundle inflated insurance and accessories into the loan principal. Always negotiate the ex-showroom price independently of financing.
