Formula Used
The monthly payment (PMT) for an auto loan is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment Formula
PMT = 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 paid is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total of all monthly payments.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan with the following details:
- Loan amount: $25,000
- Loan term: 5 years
- Annual interest rate: 6.5%
Using the formula:
- Convert annual rate to monthly: 6.5% ÷ 12 = 0.5417% or 0.005417
- Number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
- Calculate monthly payment:
PMT = $25,000 × [0.005417(1 + 0.005417)^60] / [(1 + 0.005417)^60 - 1]
= $25,000 × [0.005417 × 1.3656] / [1.3656 - 1]
= $25,000 × [0.007386] / 0.3656
= $25,000 × 0.0202
= $505.00 - Total interest paid: ($505 × 60) - $25,000 = $30,300 - $25,000 = $5,300
This example shows a monthly payment of $505 and total interest of $5,300 over 5 years.
| Payment Number | Beginning Balance | Interest | Principal | Ending Balance |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between APR and interest rate?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the total annual cost of credit, including fees and interest, while the interest rate is just the portion of APR that represents the cost of borrowing. Askari Bank typically provides both figures in loan offers.
How does loan term affect my monthly payment?
A longer loan term means lower monthly payments but higher total interest paid. A shorter term results in higher monthly payments but lower total interest. The optimal term depends on your financial situation and goals.
Can I pay extra toward my loan without penalty?
Askari Bank typically allows prepayment of auto loans without penalty. Paying extra can reduce your total interest and pay off the loan faster. Check your loan agreement for specific terms.
