Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ] Where: M = Monthly payment P = Principal loan amount i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12) n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off a loan with a fixed interest rate over a specified period.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $67,000 loan at 5% annual interest for 5 years:

Principal (P) = $67,000
Annual interest rate = 5% or 0.05
Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.05 / 12 ≈ 0.004167
Loan term in months (n) = 5 × 12 = 60

Plugging these values into the formula:

M = 67000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1 ] ≈ $1,245.50

So, the monthly payment would be approximately $1,245.50.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between APR and interest rate?: The annual percentage rate (APR) is the total cost of credit, including fees, while the interest rate is the cost of borrowing without fees. 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 loan term means higher monthly payments but less total interest paid.
What is the difference between fixed and variable interest rates?: A fixed interest rate stays the same throughout the loan term, while a variable rate can change based on market conditions. Fixed rates are generally more predictable.
How can I lower my auto loan payments?: You can lower your payments by making larger down payments, getting a better interest rate, or extending the loan term. However, these options may increase your total interest paid.
