1. What is the EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines the fixed monthly payment amount for an SBI car loan, which includes both principal and interest components. This helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Loan principal amount (INR)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( N \) — Number of monthly installments (loan term in years × 12)
• \( EMI \) — Equated Monthly Installment (INR)

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

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is crucial for financial planning, budgeting, and ensuring loan affordability before committing to an SBI car loan.

4. Using the Calculator

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