1. What is the EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation helps determine the fixed monthly payment amount for a car loan in Bangladesh. It includes both principal and interest components, allowing borrowers to plan their finances effectively.

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
• \( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (BDT)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that pays off the loan principal and interest over the specified tenure.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is crucial for financial planning, budgeting, and ensuring that the loan repayment fits within your monthly income without causing financial strain.

4. Using the Calculator
