How is a loan installment calculated in Pakistan?

In Pakistan the State Bank caps all consumer installments at 40% of net disposable income, personal financing at 4 years, car financing at 3 years above 1,000 cc with at least 30% down, and home finance at 30 years and 90% of the value (SBP Prudential Regulations, as amended to 2026). SBP sets no maximum mark-up, so a PKR 3,500,000 car with PKR 1,050,000 down at an example 18% is PKR 88,573 a month over 36 months.

Questions people ask

What is EMI?

EMI (equated monthly installment) is the fixed monthly installment that repays a loan with its mark-up on the reducing balance: amount × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n), with r the yearly rate ÷ 12 and n the months.

Does SBP set a maximum interest rate?

No — the State Bank of Pakistan sets no ceiling on the mark-up of consumer financing; a floating rate is a benchmark such as KIBOR plus a margin that cannot be raised during the tenor.
