Used Car Loan EMI Calculator

A loan for a second-hand car works like any other car loan, but lenders usually charge more and lend for shorter terms because the car is older. Enter the price, your down payment and the rate you have been quoted to see the EMI, the interest and how old the car will be when the loan ends.

What it is:
An EMI calculator for loans on second-hand cars in India.
What it calculates:
The loan after your down payment, the monthly EMI, total interest, total cost and a month-by-month schedule.

Key Assumptions

  • The rate is fixed for the whole tenure.
  • Processing fees, valuation charges, insurance and RTO transfer costs are not included.
  • Lender rules on car age and funding vary by lender and are not applied.

How does the Used Car Loan EMI Calculator work?

Loan amount = the price you are paying for the car minus your down payment.

The EMI is the standard reducing-balance EMI on that amount at your rate and tenure, rounded to the rupee, and the schedule shows how each instalment splits between interest and principal.

The rate is pre-filled with the lowest starting rate among the banks whose used car loan rates we have checked on their own websites. A starting rate goes to the strongest profiles, so replace it with the rate you are actually offered.

Car age at the last EMI is today's age plus the tenure. Lenders set their own limits on vehicle age and on how much of the price they fund, and these vary by lender.

Used Car Loan EMI Calculator formula

Loan = car price - down payment; EMI = P x r x (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

P
= loan amount
r
= monthly interest rate = annual rate / 12 / 100
n
= tenure in months

Car age at the last EMI = age today + n / 12.

Used Car Loan EMI Calculator: frequently asked questions

Why are used car loan rates higher than new car loan rates?
An older car is worth less as security and loses value faster, and its condition is harder for the lender to judge. Compare the banks' published used car and new car rates on their own sites before you apply.
How much of a used car's price will a lender fund?
It varies by lender, and usually depends on the car's valuation, its age and your profile rather than the price you agreed with the seller. Ask the lender for its valuation and funding percentage in writing; the gap is your down payment.
Is there a limit on the car's age?
Most lenders set one, both for the car's age when you borrow and when the loan ends, but the limits vary by lender. The calculator shows the car's age at the last EMI so you can check it against your lender's rule.
What tenure should I choose for a used car?
Keep it shorter than you would for a new car. The car keeps losing value while you repay, and a long tenure can leave you owing more than the car is worth. Compare total interest at a few tenures before you decide.
What other costs should I budget for?
The processing fee, any valuation or documentation charge, insurance, and the RTO fee for transferring ownership. None of these are in the EMI shown here.
