Formula Used
Monthly Payment Formula
The monthly payment (PMT) for an auto loan is calculated using the formula:
PMT = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount ($22,000)
- r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula uses the standard amortization method where equal payments are made each month, including principal and interest.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $22,000 loan with a 5% APR over 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $22,000
- Annual interest rate = 5% → Monthly rate (r) = 5/12/100 = 0.0041667
- Loan term = 5 years → Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these into the formula:
PMT = 22000 × (0.0041667(1 + 0.0041667)^60) / ((1 + 0.0041667)^60 - 1)
Calculating this gives a monthly payment of approximately $426.88.
Total interest paid over 5 years would be $1,524.40.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between APR and interest rate?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the total annual cost of borrowing, including fees and points. The interest rate is the actual percentage charged on the loan amount. APR is typically 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. The optimal term depends on your financial situation.
What happens if I make extra payments?
Extra payments reduce the principal faster, lowering the total interest paid. They also shorten the loan term. Some loans allow prepayment without penalty, while others may charge fees.
