Formula Used

The monthly payment for an auto loan is calculated using the following formula:

Monthly Payment 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 multiplied by 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the loan balance over the life of the loan, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a monthly payment for a PKR 5,000,000 auto loan with a 10% annual interest rate over 5 years.

  1. Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate: 10% ÷ 12 = 0.8333% or 0.008333 in decimal.
  2. Calculate the number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 months.
  3. Plug the values into the formula:

    M = 5,000,000 [0.008333(1 + 0.008333)^60] / [(1 + 0.008333)^60 - 1]

  4. The calculation results in a monthly payment of approximately PKR 103,500.

This example shows how the calculator can help you estimate your monthly payments before applying for an auto loan.
