Formula Used
The AAA auto loan calculator uses the following formula to calculate monthly payments:
Monthly 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 accounts for the interest on the loan balance each month, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you want to borrow $20,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.5% for 5 years.
- Enter $20,000 as the loan amount.
- Enter 4.5 as the interest rate.
- Select 5 years as the loan term.
- Click "Calculate".
The calculator will show:
- Monthly payment: $362.68
- Total interest: $3,156.40
- Total loan cost: $23,156.40
This example demonstrates how the calculator helps you understand the cost of borrowing money for an auto loan.
