The calculator will display your monthly payment, total interest paid, and total amount repaid. You can also view a breakdown of your payments over time.

Formula Used

The calculation uses the standard amortization formula for loans, adjusted for taxes:

Monthly Payment Formula

P = (A × r × (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

  • P = Monthly payment
  • A = Loan amount
  • r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
  • n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

The tax-adjusted monthly payment is calculated by adding the tax amount to the base monthly payment.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a car loan with the following details:

  • Loan Amount: €30,000
  • Interest Rate: 4.5% per year
  • Loan Term: 5 years
  • Tax Rate: 2.5%

The base monthly payment would be:

Base Monthly Payment Calculation

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.375% = 0.00375

Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60

P = (30,000 × 0.00375 × (1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)

P ≈ €554.32

With a 2.5% tax rate, the tax amount per month is:

€554.32 × 2.5% = €13.86

So the total monthly payment with taxes is €554.32 + €13.86 = €568.18

Over 5 years, you would pay a total of €568.18 × 60 = €34,090.80, with €4,090.80 going to interest and taxes.

Interpreting Results

The calculator provides several key metrics to help you understand your car loan:

  • Monthly Payment: The amount you'll pay each month including principal, interest, and taxes.
  • Total Interest Paid: The sum of all interest and taxes paid over the life of the loan.
  • Total Amount Repaid: The sum of all monthly payments, which equals the loan amount plus total interest paid.

Use these numbers to compare different loan options and understand the true cost of your car loan. Remember that lower monthly payments might mean higher total interest costs over time.
