1. What is the EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines the fixed monthly payment amount for a car loan in Canada, including both principal and interest components. It helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

\[ EMI = \frac{P \times R \times (1 + R)^N}{(1 + R)^N - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (CAD)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( N \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that pays off the entire loan (principal + interest) over the specified term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is crucial for budgeting and financial planning when purchasing a vehicle in Canada. It helps borrowers understand their monthly obligations and compare different loan options.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in CAD, annual interest rate as a percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be valid (principal > 0, interest rate ≥ 0, loan term ≥ 1 year).
