Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

Additional fees and taxes are added to the principal amount before calculating payments.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:

• Loan amount: $25,000
• Interest rate: 5.5% APR
• Loan term: 5 years
• Additional fees: $500 (title, registration, etc.)

The calculator would:

1. Add fees to principal: $25,000 + $500 = $25,500
2. Calculate monthly interest rate: 5.5%/12 = 0.4583%
3. Calculate number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
4. Apply the formula to get monthly payment

The result would show approximately $452.50 monthly payments over 5 years, with $3,600 in total interest paid.

Interpreting Results

When you get your results, pay attention to these key metrics:

• Monthly payment: Your regular payment amount
• Total interest: How much you'll pay in interest over the loan term
• Total amount paid: Principal + interest + fees
• Tax and fee impact: How additional costs affect your total payment
