How the AACFCU Auto Loan Calculator Works
An auto loan is a type of secured loan where the vehicle you're purchasing serves as collateral. AACFCU offers competitive auto loan rates and flexible terms to help you finance your new or used vehicle. The calculator uses standard auto loan formulas to provide accurate payment estimates based on your inputs.
Key Features of the Calculator
- Calculate monthly payments based on loan amount, interest rate, and term
- View total interest paid over the life of the loan
- Compare different loan scenarios
- Understand how changes in loan terms affect your payments
This calculator provides estimates only. Actual loan terms and rates may vary based on your creditworthiness and AACFCU's current lending policies.
The Auto Loan Formula
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
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in months)
Total interest paid is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total of all monthly payments.
Example Calculation
Let's say you're looking to finance a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 5 years (60 months).
| Term | Monthly Payment | Total Interest | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 years | $477.68 | $3,468.40 | $28,468.40 |
This example shows that over 5 years, you would pay $477.68 per month, with $3,468.40 going toward interest, bringing your total cost to $28,468.40.
