What is Bike Loan EMI Calculator and How We Can Use It?

EMI calculators are free-to-use online tools available in bike portals as well as the official websites of lenders.

The working principle of a generic bike loan EMI calculator is quite simple. It is programmed to work by taking into account the mathematical EMI calculation formula.

Almost all bike loan EMI calculators entail a simple user interface. The UI is riddled with a series of empty labelled spaces. The user would have to fill up these empty spaces with the particulars of their bike loan. Most (if not all) EMI calculators would require the following loan particulars from a borrower.

Here goes – 

  • Loan tenure of the loan
  • Borrowed amount and
  • Rate of interest.

After the above particulars are provided as input to the calculator tool, one has to press the ‘calculate’ on-screen button. After that, the approximate EMI for the bike loan will be displayed in no time!

Why one should use a bike EMI calculator?

There are many benefits in store for borrowers who use an EMI calculator before they apply for a bike loan. Some of them are as follows – 

  • With the help of an EMI calculator, one can check whether the tentative EMIs for the loan will be affordable or not.
  • With the help of the EMI calculator, one can choose the best principal + tenure combination. In this way, the borrower can keep the EMIs and interest rate on the loan affordable.
  • With the help of an EMI calculator, the borrower can plan ahead. Ensuring that one has the financial means to support the EMIs of the loan is possible with an EMI calculator.

Know Why Bike Loan Is The Best Option To Buy A Bike

When one buys a bike via financing, they can enjoy several benefits. Some of them are as follows – 

One can buy the bike they want

When one buys a motorcycle after they apply for a bike loan, they will be able to buy the bike they want. If they chose to buy a bike with cash, their options would have been limited.

One can keep their savings, FDs and emergency funds untouched

Bike loans can help one to keep their emergency funds, FDs and savings are intact. Motorcycles these days cost a lot of money. Hence, buying a bike with cash means emptying one’s cash reserves!

One can practice the discipline of keeping sufficient funds in their bank account

Paying EMIs on time is essential when one buys a bike via a motorcycle loan. Defaulting on EMIs entails hefty fines. Furthermore, it would also reduce one’s credit score and place red flags on their credit history. This is why maintaining the minimum balance in one’s bank account is essential. In case one often keeps INR 0 in their bank account, they can change this habit in no time.
