Car Loan EMI Calculator

Car loans run shorter and cost more than home loans — typically 3 to 7 years at 8.5–14% — so this calculator opens with an ₹8 lakh loan at 9.5% for 5 years to match that shape. Enter your own on-road price and down payment and the EMI updates instantly, entirely in your browser.

Tenure

Extra paid every month on top of the EMI — it goes straight to principal and closes the loan early.

How to use this tool

  1. Work out the loan amount

    Loan amount is the on-road price minus your down payment — dealers usually expect 10–20% down, so the loan is smaller than the sticker price.

  2. Enter rate and tenure

    Car loan rates commonly run 8.5–14% depending on new vs used and your lender; tenure is usually 3–7 years.

  3. Read your EMI and total interest

    The EMI, total interest and principal-vs-interest split update instantly as you change any number.

Questions people ask

What is the EMI for an ₹8 lakh car loan at 9.5% for 5 years?

About ₹16,805 per month. Over 60 months you repay roughly ₹10.08 lakh, of which about ₹2.08 lakh is interest — the default example on this calculator shows the exact numbers.

Is the loan amount the same as the on-road price?

No — the loan amount is the on-road price (ex-showroom + RTO + insurance) minus your down payment. Most lenders finance 80–90% of the on-road price, so enter that smaller figure here, not the sticker price.

Why are car loan rates higher than home loan rates?

A car depreciates fast and is harder to recover value from than a house, so lenders price in more risk — car loan rates typically run 8.5–14% against 8–9.5% for home loans, and used-car loans sit at the higher end.

Should I choose a 3-year or a 7-year car loan?

A shorter tenure means a higher EMI but far less total interest, since a car loses value quickly and you want to avoid still owing money on a car worth less than the loan. Try both tenures here and compare the total-interest figure.

Does a longer tenure ever make sense for a car loan?

Only if the higher EMI would strain your monthly budget — stretching tenure to lower the EMI costs meaningfully more in total interest, which this calculator shows side by side when you change the tenure field.
