Formula Used

The APL FCU Auto Loan Calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]

Where:

M = Monthly payment
P = Principal loan amount
i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate an example auto loan with the following terms:

Loan amount: $25,000
Loan term: 5 years
Annual interest rate: 4.5%

Using the formula:

M = 25000 [ (0.045/12)(1 + 0.045/12)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.045/12)^60 - 1 ]

The calculation yields a monthly payment of approximately $452.34. Over the 5-year term, you would pay a total of $12,680.20 in interest, bringing the total cost of the loan to $37,680.20.
