How to Use This Calculator
Using the Auto Loan Calculator CEFCU is simple:
- Enter the loan amount you're requesting (e.g., $25,000)
- Input the interest rate offered by CEFCU (e.g., 4.5%)

The calculator will display your monthly payment, total interest paid, and total amount paid over the life of the loan. You can also view a breakdown of your loan payments in the chart below the results.
Formula Used
The monthly payment is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]
Where:
- M = Monthly payment
- P = Principal loan amount
- i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% interest rate over 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $25,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5% or 0.045
- Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.045 / 12 ≈ 0.00375
- Loan term in months (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these values into the formula:
M = 25000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ]
This calculation results in a monthly payment of approximately $452.38.
| Loan Amount | Interest Rate | Loan Term | Monthly Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | 4.5% | 5 years | $452.38 |
| $30,000 | 4.2% | 6 years | $478.12 |
| $40,000 | 5.0% | 7 years | $634.75 |
