Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount ($7,500)
- r = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
- n = Number of payments (Loan Term in Years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan in the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $7,500 auto loan with a 5.5% annual interest rate over 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $7,500
- Annual Interest Rate = 5.5%
- Monthly Interest Rate (r) = 5.5% / 12 / 100 = 0.004583
- Loan Term in Months (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these values into the formula:
Monthly Payment = 7500 × [0.004583(1 + 0.004583)^60] / [(1 + 0.004583)^60 - 1]
Monthly Payment ≈ $138.25
Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $1,825.00.
