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