Formula Used
The auto loan payment is calculated using the following formula:
Auto Loan Payment Formula
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula accounts for the interest on the remaining balance each month, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan at 4.5% interest for 5 years:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Loan Amount | $25,000 |
| Interest Rate | 4.5% |
| Loan Term | 5 years |
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
2. Calculate number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
3. Plug values into formula: $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
4. Result: $452.34 per month
Your total interest would be $1,834.40, bringing your total repayment to $26,834.40.
