Formula Used

The monthly payment is calculated using the standard auto loan 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 divided by 12)
  • n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Total interest is calculated as:

Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × Number of Payments) - Principal

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $25,000 loan at 5.5% interest for 5 years (60 months):

  1. Monthly interest rate = 5.5% ÷ 12 = 0.4583%
  2. Using the formula: M = 25000 [ 0.004583(1 + 0.004583)60 ] / [ (1 + 0.004583)60 - 1 ]
  3. Calculating the numerator: 0.004583 × (1.004583)60 ≈ 0.004583 × 1.316 ≈ 0.00602
  4. Calculating the denominator: (1.004583)60 - 1 ≈ 1.316 - 1 = 0.316
  5. Monthly payment = 25000 × (0.00602 / 0.316) ≈ $499.50
  6. Total interest = (499.50 × 60) - 25000 ≈ $1,970

This example shows a $499.50 monthly payment with $1,970 in total interest over 5 years.
