Formula Used
The monthly payment for an auto loan is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:
Loan Payment Formula
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]
Where:
- M = Monthly payment
- P = Principal loan amount ($47,000)
- i = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
- n = Number of payments (Loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize the loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $47,000 auto loan with a 5% annual interest rate over 5 years (60 months):
- Principal (P) = $47,000
- Annual interest rate = 5% → Monthly interest rate (i) = 5/12/100 = 0.004167
- Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
- Plugging into the formula:
M = 47000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1 ]
M ≈ $844.32
- Total interest paid = (Monthly payment × Number of payments) - Principal
Total interest = ($844.32 × 60) - $47,000 = $1,465.80
This example shows that with a $47,000 loan at 5% interest over 5 years, you would pay approximately $844.32 per month with a total interest cost of $1,465.80.
