How to Use This Calculator
To calculate your auto loan payments:

- Select the loan term in years
- Click "Calculate" to see your monthly payment and loan details
The calculator uses the standard auto loan formula to determine your monthly payments. You can also view a chart showing your loan balance over time.
Formula Used
The monthly payment for an auto loan is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment = P × [r(1 + r)n] / [(1 + r)n - 1]
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula accounts for the interest on both the original principal and the interest accumulated on previous payments.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $11,300 loan with a 5.5% annual interest rate over 5 years (60 months):
- Principal (P) = $11,300
- Annual interest rate = 5.5% → Monthly rate (r) = 5.5 ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.004583
- Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these into the formula:
Monthly Payment = 11300 × [0.004583(1 + 0.004583)60] / [(1 + 0.004583)60 - 1]
Calculating the components:
- (1 + 0.004583)60 ≈ 1.3468
- Numerator = 0.004583 × 1.3468 ≈ 0.006226
- Denominator = 1.3468 - 1 = 0.3468
- Monthly Payment = 11300 × (0.006226 / 0.3468) ≈ $234.50
So, for this example, the monthly payment would be approximately $234.50.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between APR and interest rate?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the total cost of credit, including fees and other charges, while the interest rate is the actual percentage charged on the loan. APR is always higher than the interest rate.
How does loan term affect my monthly payment?
A longer loan term means lower monthly payments but more total interest paid. A shorter term means higher monthly payments but less total interest. Choose based on your budget and financial goals.
Can I pay extra toward my loan?
Yes, paying extra principal can reduce your loan term and total interest. Use the calculator to see how different extra payments would affect your loan.
