Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment Formula
M = P [ i(1 + i)n ] / [ (1 + i)n - 1 ]
Where:
- M = monthly payment
- P = principal loan amount ($9,000)
- i = monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
- n = number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
Total interest is calculated by subtracting the principal from the total amount paid.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $9,000 loan with these terms:
- Loan amount: $9,000
- Loan term: 5 years
- Annual interest rate: 7.5%
Using the formula:
- Convert annual rate to monthly: 7.5% ÷ 12 = 0.625% or 0.00625
- Number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
- Plug into formula: M = 9000 [ 0.00625(1 + 0.00625)60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00625)60 - 1 ]
- Calculate: M ≈ $185.34 per month
- Total amount paid: $185.34 × 60 ≈ $11,120.40
- Total interest: $11,120.40 - $9,000 = $2,120.40
This example shows you'll pay approximately $185.34 per month, with a total interest cost of about $2,120.40 over 5 years.
