Formula Used

The weekly auto loan payoff calculator uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your weekly payments:

Weekly Payment = P × (r × (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1) Where: P = Principal loan amount r = Weekly interest rate (annual rate / 52) n = Total number of payments (loan term in years × 52)

This formula accounts for the periodic interest charges and ensures that your loan is fully paid off at the end of the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the weekly auto loan payoff calculator works.

Example Calculation

Suppose you have an auto loan with the following details:

Loan Amount: $20,000
Annual Interest Rate: 5%
Loan Term: 4 years

Using the formula:

Weekly Interest Rate = 5% / 52 ≈ 0.009615% Total Number of Payments = 4 × 52 = 208 Weekly Payment = $20,000 × (0.009615 × (1 + 0.009615)^208) / ((1 + 0.009615)^208 - 1) Weekly Payment ≈ $20,000 × (0.009615 × 1.106) / (1.106 - 1) Weekly Payment ≈ $20,000 × 0.106 / 0.106 ≈ $2,122.45

The calculator would show a weekly payment of approximately $2,122.45. The payoff schedule would display the remaining balance each week, showing how quickly your loan is being paid off.
