One of the most asked questions among youth of India on my YouTube Channel is – how to calculate Bike Loan EMI or Two Wheeler Loan in India and how banks use their Bike loan calculator to calculate EMI of the loan for a bike we want to buy? In this article we’ll cover everything you need to know about Bike Loan EMI and also use excel calculator to calculate the principal and interest amounts in Bike Loan.
When we calculate EMI (Equated monthly installment) of any loan, the EMI consists of 2 components – Principal and Interest Amounts. We can easily use the excel function PMT() to calculate EMI of our bike loan. Major financial institutions including banks such as SBI, HDFC, ICICI, bajaj finance, etc. use this same formula to calculate EMI of your bike loan and interest amount that you will be paying. Interest amount is something you pay extra apart from the principal amount that you take as loan which you have to pay. The only variable component here is the total interest amount which varies and depends on the interest rate, tenure and the principal amount of your bike loan.

What is Bike Loan EMI
- EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment
- It includes repayment of the principal amount and payment of the interest on the outstanding amount of your bike loan
- A longer loan tenure helps in reducing the EMI, but increases the interest amount you pay on your bike loan or two wheeler loan. This increases the total amount you have to pay back to bank or financial institution while repaying your loan amount
- You should opt for higher bike loan EMI to reduce your interest amount and tenure. But again, you have to see how much EMI you can afford every month
- Keeping the tenure low also reduces the total interest amount you pay back to bank. This happens since you finish off your loan as early as possible which is a good step in paying less interest amount
- It is important to note that maximum interest amount is taken from you at the initial stages of your bike loan or two wheeler loan

Let’s now see how bike loan calculation works with the help of example
Let’s consider your Bike loan of principal amount = Rs. 50,000, tenure = 3 years (36 months) and interest rate = 12%. Providing these inputs in our excel calculator, you get EMI = Rs. 1,660.72 as seen below:
As you notice, principal amount is lowest initially and increases with every month after you pay EMIs. On the other hand, interest amount is highest initially and decreases with time after your EMIs are paid every month.
The total interest you will be paying is Rs. 9,785.76 (on top right) and the total amount will be this interest amount + principal amount you took as bike loan = Rs. 59,785.76 (on top right)
So overall, this excel calculator helps you know your EMI, Principal and interest amounts every month you pay via EMI, total interest you’ll be paying in entire tenure and the total amount you pay back to the bank or financial institution.

How to Save Bike Loan Interest
As mentioned above, you can make some Bike loan prepayments in order to save your loan interest. Loan prepayment is the method to reduce your principal outstanding balance which you can see above in column E (principal remaining), based on this amount, your every month interest is calculated.
And since you get interest amount using this principal remaining and interest rate, and you already have the EMI amount calculated, the remaining amount becomes your principal amount for that month.
This is why, your principal remaining or outstanding principal amount is deciding factor for the interest amount you’ll pay every month. Reducing this amount gradually as earl as possible (based on your affordability), you can reduce the interest amounts substantially.
Let’s say for above example, you are able to accumulate Rs. 10,000 in 5th month and make prepayment in this month, as seen below you’ll be saving interest amount of Rs. 3,275.71 throughout the loan tenure.
The prepayment amount you paid is subtracted from your principal remaining balance which helped in saving the interest amount throughout the tenure. Similarly you can make multiple prepayments to save more loan interest amounts.
And this is how you will save bike loan interest amount as this is the only amount which is variable. Principal amount will have to be paid in full.
Important: While making prepayment, we assumed to reduce the tenure instead of EMI. When you make prepayment, you have 2 options – to reduce EMI or tenure. You’ll save more interest amount while keeping the EMI same and reducing tenure as seen above.
