What is Used Car Loan EMI?
A used car loan finances a pre-owned vehicle. Rates run 2-4% higher than new-car loans because used vehicles depreciate faster and lenders see them as higher risk. Typical rates in 2026: 12-16% p.a. from banks, up to 18% from NBFCs.
Formula
The standard amortizing EMI formula:
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / [(1 + r)^n − 1] P = loan principal r = monthly interest rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100) n = tenure in months
