1. What is EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. For car loans in Bangladesh, EMI payments are used to pay off both the principal amount and the interest on the loan.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (BDT)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( N \) — Number of monthly installments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment, plan their budget effectively, and compare different loan offers from banks and financial institutions in Bangladesh.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in BDT, annual interest rate as a percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
