Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to calculate monthly payments:
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula accounts for the interest on the unpaid balance of your loan each month, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.
Worked Example
Let's calculate an example auto loan payment:
Suppose you want to borrow $20,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.5% for 5 years (60 months).
Monthly Payment = $20,000 × (0.045/12 × (1 + 0.045/12)^60) / ((1 + 0.045/12)^60 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $362.45
This means you would pay approximately $362.45 per month for 60 months to repay the $20,000 loan.
Loan Rate Comparison
Compare how different interest rates affect your monthly payments with the same loan amount and term.
| Interest Rate | Loan Term | Monthly Payment | Total Interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5% | 5 years | $338.12 | $2,291.40 |
| 4.5% | 5 years | $362.45 | $4,743.00 |
| 5.5% | 5 years | $387.22 | $7,236.00 |
This comparison shows how a 1% increase in interest rate can significantly increase your monthly payments and total interest paid over the life of the loan.
