Formula Used

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 divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Total interest is calculated as:

Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × n) - P

Total cost is simply the sum of the principal and total interest.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $20,000 loan at 4.5% annual interest for 4 years (48 months):

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Monthly payment = $20,000 × (0.00375(1+0.00375)^48) / ((1+0.00375)^48 - 1) ≈ $421.34
Total paid = $421.34 × 48 ≈ $20,242.72
Total interest = $20,242.72 - $20,000 = $242.72

This example shows you'll pay approximately $421.34 per month with $242.72 in total interest over the loan term.
