How to Use This Calculator

To use the Auto Bank Rate Calculator:

1. Enter the loan amount you're considering in the "Loan Amount" field.
2. Input the annual interest rate offered by the bank in the "Interest Rate" field.

The calculator will display your estimated monthly payment, total interest paid over the life of the loan, and your loan-to-value ratio.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula to calculate your monthly payments:

Additional calculations include:

• Total interest paid = (Monthly Payment × n) - P
• Loan-to-value ratio = (Loan Amount / Property Value) × 100

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $200,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 30 years:

1. Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
2. Number of payments = 30 × 12 = 360
3. Monthly payment = $200,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^360) / ((1 + 0.00375)^360 - 1) ≈ $1,143.55
4. Total interest paid = ($1,143.55 × 360) - $200,000 ≈ $143,674

If you're purchasing a $250,000 property, your loan-to-value ratio would be ($200,000 / $250,000) × 100 = 80%.
