Formula Used
The auto loan 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
i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off a loan with a fixed interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a sample auto loan in Connecticut:
Example Scenario
Loan amount: $25,000
Loan term: 5 years
Annual interest rate: 4.5%
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.00375
Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly payment = $25,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ]
Monthly payment ≈ $452.38
For this $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 5 years, your estimated monthly payment would be $452.38.
