Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount (vehicle price + TTL fees)
- r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in months)
Total interest is calculated as:
Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × n) - P
Total amount paid includes the principal, interest, and any additional fees.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan for a $25,000 vehicle with $150 in TTL fees, a 4.5% APR, and a 60-month term.
- Total principal = $25,000 + $150 = $25,150
- Monthly interest rate = 4.5%/12 = 0.375%
- Monthly payment = $25,150 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1) ≈ $452.36
- Total interest = ($452.36 × 60) - $25,150 ≈ $1,942.40
- Total amount paid = $25,150 + $1,942.40 = $27,092.40
This example shows how TTL fees increase your total loan amount and monthly payments.
