Formula Explained
The monthly payment for an auto loan is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:
This formula accounts for both the principal amount and the interest that accumulates over the life of the loan.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 5 years:
- Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
- Calculate number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 payments
- Apply the formula:
M = $25,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $456.28
Your estimated monthly payment would be approximately $456.28.
