While the actual amount and percentage depend on the specific lender, at Bajaj Markets, you can get a bike loan up to 100% of the bike’s cost.
The bike loan interest rate varies across lenders. The key factors that determine the interest rate include your credit score (CIBIL), the loan amount, and the repayment term of the loan. Different banks and NBFCs levy differing charges that can make the interest rate fluctuate between 9% to 18%. Always compare the rates and other terms before taking a bike loan.
By calculating your bike loan EMI you can know exactly how much you need to pay per month. This, in turn, helps you manage your finances and monthly expenses better. The EMI can be calculated using this formula:
EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1]
where,
P is the total loan amount borrowed, known as the Principal
R is the interest rate levied by the lender
N is the repayment tenor of the loan (in number of months)

By simply entering the aforementioned variables such as the principal to be borrowed, interest rate, and repayment term, you can instantly know the exact amount you will need to pay per month and the total interest payable.
