Worked Example
Let's say you're financing a car with a loan amount of $25,000, an APR of 4.5%, and a loan term of 60 months. Here's how the calculation works:
- Convert the APR to a monthly interest rate: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375 in decimal form.
- Plug the values into the formula:
M = $25,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ]
- Calculate the numerator and denominator separately.
- The result is approximately $452.38 per month.
