1. What is the Auto Loan EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates your fixed monthly payment for a Ford vehicle loan. It considers the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term to determine your monthly obligations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Loan principal amount (USD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of your loan payment, with more interest paid early in the loan term.
