Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Where:
- M = Monthly payment
- P = Principal loan amount
- i = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
The total interest is calculated as:
The total cost of the loan is simply the sum of the principal and total interest.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:
- Loan amount: $20,000
- APR: 4.5%
- Term: 5 years
Monthly interest rate (i) = 4.5%/12/100 = 0.00375
Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Using the formula:
Total interest = ($362.49 × 60) - $20,000 ≈ $1,349.40
Total cost = $20,000 + $1,349.40 = $21,349.40
