1. What is Motortrade Loan EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower pays to the lender each month for their motorcycle loan. Motortrade is a popular financing option for motorcycle purchases in the Philippines.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of the loan payment, with interest being front-loaded in the early payments.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their monthly obligations and assess loan affordability before committing to a motorcycle purchase.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in PHP, annual interest rate (typical Motortrade rates range from 6% to 24%), and loan term in months (usually 12-60 months for motorcycle loans).
