Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment Formula
M = P [i(1 + i)n] / [(1 + i)n - 1]
Where:
- M = Monthly payment
- P = Principal loan amount
- i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)
The total interest is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total of all monthly payments. The total loan cost is the sum of all monthly payments.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 5 years (60 months).
Example Calculation
Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Number of payments = 5 years × 12 = 60 months
Monthly payment = $25,000 [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)60] / [(1 + 0.00375)60 - 1]
Monthly payment ≈ $454.23
Total interest = ($454.23 × 60) - $25,000 = $1,633.80
Total loan cost = $454.23 × 60 = $26,671.80
This example shows that with a $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 5 years, you would pay approximately $454.23 per month, with $1,633.80 going toward interest.
