Introduction
In a country like India, given the condition of our roads and need for immediate accessibility, lack of good public transport, two-wheelers have become the go-to solution for most Indians. India is considered to be among the top 5 markets in the two-wheeler segment. This industry also saw one of the highest impacts of the covid pandemic as sales of the industry giants in the country plummeted one after the either. However, the industry is slowly seeing an upswing, especially in the electric two-wheeler segment which is seen an overall growth of 132%.
Although two-wheelers are definitely cheaper than four-wheelers, they are still out of reach for many Indians. Catering to this need, there are multiple lenders that provide easy bike loans at affordable interest rates for a short-term tenure ranging from 12 months to 5 years (depending on the lender). Borrowers have to repay this loan within the tenure through EMIs failing which they may have to pay a penalty or their vehicle stands hypothecated as per the agreement with the lender.
For this purpose, it is important to understand the meaning and calculation of EMI.
What is a bike loan EMI?
The loan taken for the purchase of any two-wheeler comes in the bike loan category. This also includes loans for the purchase of electronic vehicles. The loan for purchasing a two-wheeler has to be repaid within the tenure as per the agreed repayment schedule. This repayment is in the form of fixed monthly payments known as EMI (Equated Monthly Instalments). This EMI can be repaid through various options as per the convenience of the borrower.
The three main components in the calculation of bike loan EMI are the loan amount required, the rate of interest, and the tenure of the loan. Using these three components the mathematical formula for calculating bike loan EMI is mentioned below.
EMI = EMI = P x r x {(1+r)^n/ [(1+r)^n-1]}
In the above formula,
P = The loan amount given by the lender.
r = The prevailing rate of interest charged by the lender for the loan. An important point to remember is that this formula requires ‘r’ to be the per month rate. Therefore, it is calculated as r/12/100.
n = The tenure of the loan and is represented as the total number of months in the tenure (for example, tenure of 3 years is represented as 36 months in the above formula).
Let us consider an example to understand the calculation of bike loan EMI in a better manner.
Mr. X purchased a bike by taking a loan of Rs. 80,000 from ABC bank at the rate of 10% per annum for a period of 3 years. The EMI calculation, in this case, is given below.
EMI = 80000 * 0.008333 * {(1+0.08333)^36 / [(1+0.008333)^36 – 1]}
EMI = Rs. Rs. 2.581
