The calculator will display your monthly payment, total interest paid, and total amount paid over the life of the loan.
Formula Used
The monthly payment (PMT) for an auto loan is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:
PMT = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = principal loan amount (ECU)
- r = monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
- n = number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula accounts for the interest on the loan balance over each payment period, providing an accurate monthly payment amount.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan of 20,000 ECU at 5% annual interest for 4 years:
- Principal (P) = 20,000 ECU
- Annual interest rate = 5% → Monthly rate (r) = 5 ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.004167
- Loan term = 4 years → Number of payments (n) = 4 × 12 = 48
- Plug into formula: PMT = 20,000 × (0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^48) / ((1 + 0.004167)^48 - 1)
- Calculate: PMT ≈ 20,000 × (0.004167 × 1.217) / (1.217 - 1) ≈ 20,000 × 0.0513 ≈ 1,026 ECU
The monthly payment would be approximately 1,026 ECU, with a total interest of about 1,944 ECU over the loan term.
