Formula Used
The auto loan calculator uses the standard 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 calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $25,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5% or 0.045
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 0.045 / 12 ≈ 0.00375
- Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $456.24
Total interest paid = ($456.24 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,171.20
Total amount paid = $25,000 + $1,171.20 = $26,171.20
