How does a car loan EMI work?
EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay every month until the loan is fully repaid. In the early months, a larger share goes toward interest. Over time, the principal share increases.
- Loan amount (P): Amount you borrow
- Interest rate: Annual rate charged by the lender
- Tenure (n): Total number of monthly installments
Tip: Lower tenure reduces total interest but increases monthly EMI.
