1. What is an EMI Calculator?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculator helps you determine your monthly loan payment amount for NCB motor vehicle loans in Jamaica. It calculates your fixed monthly payment based on loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Loan principal amount (JMD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of your loan payment, which change over time while keeping the EMI amount constant.
