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)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan in the specified term, including both principal and interest.

Worked Example

Let's calculate an example auto loan from Amoco FCU:

Suppose you're considering a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate for 5 years (60 months).

  1. Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
  2. Using the formula: Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
  3. Calculating the numerator: 0.00375(1.00375)^60 ≈ 0.2713
  4. Calculating the denominator: (1.00375)^60 - 1 ≈ 0.2713
  5. Monthly Payment ≈ $25,000 × (0.2713 / 0.2713) ≈ $25,000 × 1 ≈ $432.87

In this example, your estimated monthly payment would be $432.87. The total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $1,945.20, and the total cost of the loan would be $26,945.20.
