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.
