Formula Used
The auto loan calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula to calculate your monthly payment:
Monthly 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 accounts for the interest you'll pay over the life of the loan and provides an accurate estimate of your monthly obligation.
Worked Example
Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you want to finance a $25,000 car with a 4-year loan term at an annual interest rate of 4.5%.
- Enter $25,000 as the loan amount.
- Enter 4 as the loan term.
- Enter 4.5 as the interest rate.
- Click "Calculate".
The calculator will show:
- Monthly payment: $599.28
