Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Auto Loan 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 years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for an auto loan with a constant interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan with a 5.25% annual interest rate over 5 years:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Loan Amount | $25,000 |
| Annual Interest Rate | 5.25% |
| Loan Term | 5 years |
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 5.25% / 12 = 0.4375% or 0.004375
2. Calculate number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
3. Plug values into formula: $25,000 × (0.004375(1 + 0.004375)^60) / ((1 + 0.004375)^60 - 1)
4. Result: $452.34 per month
This means you would pay $452.34 each month for 5 years, with a total interest of $3,634.20.
