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.
