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 (APR/12/100)
n = Number of payments (Loan Term × 12)

Total interest is calculated by subtracting the principal from the total amount paid.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% APR over 5 years (60 months):

Monthly interest rate = 4.5%/12 = 0.00375
Monthly payment = $25,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)⁶⁰] / [(1 + 0.00375)⁶⁰ - 1] ≈ $452.34
Total amount paid = $452.34 × 60 ≈ $27,140.40
Total interest = $27,140.40 - $25,000 = $2,140.40

This example shows you would pay approximately $452.34 per month with $2,140.40 in total interest over 5 years.
