Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]
Where:
M = Monthly payment
P = Loan principal
i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:
- Loan amount: $25,000
- Loan term: 5 years
- Annual interest rate: 5%
The monthly payment would be calculated as:
i = 0.05 / 12 = 0.0041667
n = 5 × 12 = 60
M = 25000 [ 0.0041667(1 + 0.0041667)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.0041667)^60 - 1 ]
M ≈ $456.28
Over 5 years, you would pay approximately $2,737.64 in interest and $27,737.64 total.
