Formula Used
The A Auto Loan Calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off a loan with a fixed interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $20,000 loan with a 5% annual interest rate over 4 years:
- Principal (P) = $20,000
- Annual interest rate = 5% or 0.05
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 0.05 / 12 ≈ 0.004167
- Loan term in months (n) = 4 × 12 = 48
Monthly Payment = $20,000 × (0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^48) / ((1 + 0.004167)^48 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $20,000 × (0.004167 × 1.219) / (1.219 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $20,000 × 0.0500 / 0.219 ≈ $472.41
The estimated monthly payment would be $472.41.
