Formula Used

Auto Loan Payment Formula

The monthly payment (P) for an auto loan is calculated using the formula:

P = (A × r × (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

  • A = Loan amount
  • r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
  • n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on both the principal and the interest that accumulates over the life of the loan.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $25,000 loan at 5.25% annual interest for 60 months (5 years):

  1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 5.25% ÷ 12 = 0.4375% or 0.004375 in decimal
  2. Calculate the monthly payment using the formula:

    P = ($25,000 × 0.004375 × (1 + 0.004375)^60) / ((1 + 0.004375)^60 - 1)

    P ≈ $462.34 per month

  3. Total interest paid: $462.34 × 60 - $25,000 = $1,340.40

This example shows that for a $25,000 loan at 5.25% interest over 5 years, you would pay approximately $462.34 per month with $1,340.40 in total interest.
