Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

Monthly Payment Formula

Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

P = Principal loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100)
n = Number of payments (loan term in months)

The total cost of the loan includes the sum of all monthly payments plus any taxes and title fees you enter.

Worked Example

Let's calculate an example auto loan:

Parameter	Value
Loan Amount	$25,000
Annual Interest Rate	5.5%
Loan Term	60 months
Taxes and Fees	$1,200

Using the formula:

Calculation Steps

1. Monthly interest rate = 5.5% / 12 / 100 = 0.004583

2. Monthly payment = $25,000 × (0.004583(1 + 0.004583)^60) / ((1 + 0.004583)^60 - 1) ≈ $452.34

3. Total interest = ($452.34 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,120.40

4. Total cost = ($452.34 × 60) + $1,200 ≈ $28,320.40

Interpreting Results

The calculator provides several key metrics:

Monthly Payment: Your regular payment amount
Total Interest: The total interest you'll pay over the loan term
Total Cost: The sum of all payments including taxes and fees

Compare these results with different loan terms and interest rates to find the best financing option for your needs.
