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
- r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan for $25,000 over 5 years at 4.5% APR:
- Principal (P) = $25,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5%
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 4.5%/12 = 0.00375
- Loan term in months (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these values into the formula:
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $462.89
Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $3,773.40.
