Formula Used

The monthly car loan payment is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:

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

Where:

P = Principal loan amount (Car Price - Down Payment)
r = Monthly interest rate (APR / 12 / 100)
n = Number of payments (Loan Term × 12)

This formula accounts for the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term to provide an accurate monthly payment estimate.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $30,000 new car with a $3,000 down payment, a 5-year loan term, and a 4.5% APR.

Example Calculation

Principal (P) = $30,000 - $3,000 = $27,000

Monthly Interest Rate (r) = 4.5% / 12 / 100 = 0.00375

Number of Payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60

Monthly Payment = $27,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)

Monthly Payment ≈ $482.36

This example shows that with these loan terms, the monthly payment would be approximately $482.36.
