Car finance calculator Pakistan
This calculator estimates a car-finance installment in Pakistan using the reducing-balance method: installment on the financed amount (price minus down payment) at your bank's markup rate over the tenure. It also checks the current SBP rules — 30% minimum down payment, a 3-year tenure cap above 1000cc (5 years up to 1000cc), a PKR 3 million exposure cap, and the ban on financing imported vehicles — and adds advance tax by filer status.

Monthly installment
PKR 106,333
Maximum tenure: SBP caps auto-finance tenure at 3 years (36 months) for this engine capacity (above 1000cc). You entered 60 months.
Reduce the tenure to 36 months or fewer.
Maximum exposure: The financed amount (PKR 3,850,000) exceeds the SBP per-person auto-finance cap of PKR 3,000,000.
Increase the down payment so the financed amount is at most PKR 3,000,000.

How the calculation works
The monthly installment is the level payment that amortises the financed amount — the vehicle price minus your down payment — over the tenure at the markup rate, computed on a reducing balance.
Installment = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1)
- P = financed amount (price − down payment)
- r = annual markup rate ÷ 12
- n = tenure in months
SBP rules this calculator applies
- Minimum down payment: 30% for most vehicles (small local cars and local EVs exempt).
- Maximum tenure: 3 years above 1000cc, 5 years up to 1000cc.

- Imported vehicles: not eligible for bank auto financing.
Source: SBP — BPRD Circular Letter No. 29 of 2021 and No. 19 of 2022 (Prudential Regulations for Consumer Financing, auto). View circular. Confirmed against SBP's primary BPRD circulars: 30% down payment, tenure 3 years above 1000cc / 5 years up to 1000cc, PKR 3m per-person aggregate cap, imported vehicles ineligible, and exemptions for locally-assembled vehicles up to 1000cc, local EVs and Roshan Apni Car. No SBP circular repealing or relaxing this regime was found for 2026, but a fresh 2026 reaffirmation was not located either — re-check sbp.org.pk circulars. The DBR is shown at the base 50%; a reported tightening to 40% could not be confirmed against the primary regulation.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the old 20% down payment still applies — the SBP floor is 30% for most vehicles.
- Expecting a 5- or 7-year tenure on a car above 1000cc, where the cap is 3 years.
- Trying to finance an imported car through a bank, which is not permitted.
- Forgetting advance tax, registration, tracker and Takaful when budgeting the first-year cash.
