Formula Used

The calculation uses the standard auto 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 in years × 12)

This formula accounts for the amortization of the loan over the selected term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:

  • Loan amount: $25,000
  • Interest rate: 4.5% APR
  • Loan term: 5 years

Using the formula:

Monthly rate = 4.5%/12 = 0.00375

Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60

Monthly payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)

Monthly payment ≈ $452.34

Total interest paid would be approximately $2,721.40 over the 5-year term.
