Formula Used

The auto finance calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Monthly Payment Formula

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]

Where:

  • M = Monthly payment
  • P = Principal loan amount (Car price - Down payment)
  • i = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12)
  • n = Number of payments (Loan term in years × 12)

Total interest is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the number of payments and subtracting the principal loan amount.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan for a car priced at AED 120,000 with a 20% down payment, 5-year term, and 4% annual interest rate.

  1. Principal = AED 120,000 - (20% × AED 120,000) = AED 96,000
  2. Monthly interest rate = 4% ÷ 12 = 0.333%
  3. Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
  4. Monthly payment = AED 96,000 [ 0.00333(1.00333)^60 ] / [ (1.00333)^60 - 1 ] ≈ AED 1,820.50
  5. Total interest = (AED 1,820.50 × 60) - AED 96,000 ≈ AED 10,830

This example shows you would pay approximately AED 1,820.50 per month with AED 10,830 in total interest over 5 years.
