Total Amount Paid = (Monthly Payment × n)

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you're taking out a $25,000 auto loan with a 5% annual interest rate and a $2,000 down payment over 84 months (7 years).

1. Principal loan amount = $25,000 - $2,000 = $23,000
2. Monthly interest rate = 5% / 12 = 0.4167%
3. Number of payments = 84
4. Monthly payment = $23,000 × (0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^84) / ((1 + 0.004167)^84 - 1) ≈ $352.14
5. Total interest = ($352.14 × 84) - $23,000 ≈ $1,645.36
6. Total amount paid = $352.14 × 84 ≈ $29,733.36

Using the calculator with these numbers will give you the same results: a monthly payment of $352.14, total interest of $1,645.36, and a total amount paid of $29,733.36.
