Formula Used

The auto loan calculator uses the following formula to calculate monthly payments:

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 unpaid balance of your loan for each payment period, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly obligation.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example calculation:

Suppose you're considering a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate for 5 years (60 months).

  1. Convert the annual rate to a monthly rate: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375 in decimal form.
  2. Calculate the monthly payment using the formula:

    M = $25,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ]

    M ≈ $465.24

  3. Total interest paid over the life of the loan: $25,000 × 60 - $25,000 = $15,314.40

This example shows that with a $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 5 years, you would pay approximately $465.24 per month with a total interest cost of $15,314.40.
