How Interest is Calculated in Car Loan

Every month EMI consists of principal amount and interest amount. Hence, the interest is charged on your remaining outstanding balance of your car Loan.

Let’s take the above example where:
Loan Amount = Rs. 5 Lakh
Tenure = 5 Years
Interest Rate = 10%
EMI Calculated = Rs. 10,624

So for first month interest portion calculation, the entire balance of Rs. 5 Lakh (loan amount) will be considered:

First month Interest = monthly interest rate * Balance / 100
First month Interest = 10% / 12 * Rs. 5 Lakh / 100
First month Interest = Rs. 4,167

Now principal portion will be calculated as = EMI – interest amount = Rs. 10,624 – Rs. 4,167 = Rs. 6,457

Similarly, for second month your outstanding balance will be reduced by the principal amount paid in first month:

Updated Balance remaining = Rs. 5,00,000 – Rs. 6,457 = Rs. 4,93,543. Now second month interest will be calculated on this updated balance:

Second month Interest = monthly interest rate * Balance / 100
Second month Interest = 10% / 12 * Rs. 4,93,543 / 100
Second month Interest = Rs. 4,113

In second month, the interest amount is slightly decreased, and hence the principal amount will slightly increase:

Principal portion will be = EMI – interest amount = Rs. 10,624 – Rs. 4,113 = Rs. 6,511

In this way interest and principal amounts will be calculated for remaining months as well.

It is important to note that longer the loan tenure, more interest amount you will be paying in your car loan, so try to keep the loan tenure as less as possible. While doing so, you might have to pay more EMI amounts every month, but it is one of the ways to close your car loan as soon as possible.
