The 18% Rule for Car Buying

Financial advisors in India generally recommend keeping your total car EMI below 15–18% of your monthly take-home income. This leaves enough room for savings, investments, and emergency funds. For example, if you earn ₹80,000 per month, your car EMI should ideally not exceed ₹12,000–15,000.

Remember: A car comes with additional running costs — fuel, insurance, maintenance, and parking — which can easily add ₹5,000–15,000 per month on top of your EMI.
