This formula accounts for the interest on the loan balance, which is compounded monthly. The calculator then uses this monthly payment to determine the total interest paid and the loan payoff date.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the auto loan calculator works. Suppose you're planning to borrow $25,000 at an annual interest rate of 5% for 5 years.

1. Enter $25,000 as the loan amount.
2. Enter 5% as the interest rate.
3. Enter 5 as the loan term in years.
4. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show:

• Monthly payment: $462.14
• Total interest paid: $3,737.20
• Loan payoff date: Approximately 5 years from today

This means you'll pay $462.14 each month, with a total of $3,737.20 going to interest over the life of the loan. Your loan will be fully paid off about 5 years from the start date.
