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 by subtracting the original loan amount from the total amount paid over the life of the loan.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan at 4.5% annual interest for 5 years:

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly payment = $25,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)⁶⁰] / [(1 + 0.00375)⁶⁰ - 1] ≈ $456.23
Total amount paid = $456.23 × 60 ≈ $27,373.80
Total interest = $27,373.80 - $25,000 = $2,373.80

This example shows that over 5 years, you would pay approximately $456.23 per month, with a total interest cost of about $2,373.80.
