Formula Explained

The auto loan calculator uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate monthly payments:

The calculator also calculates the total interest paid by subtracting the original loan amount from the total amount paid over the life of the loan.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you want to borrow $25,000 for a car loan at an annual interest rate of 5% for 5 years.

1. Enter $25,000 as the loan amount.
2. Enter 5% as the interest rate.
3. Select 5 years as the loan term.
4. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show:

• Monthly payment: $462.18
• Total interest paid: $3,742.60
