Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard 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 divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × n) - P

Total Cost = Monthly Payment × n

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate and a 5-year term:

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1) ≈ $462.34
Total Interest = ($462.34 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,940.40
Total Cost = $462.34 × 60 ≈ $26,940.40

This example shows that with a $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 5 years, you would pay approximately $462.34 per month, with a total interest cost of about $1,940.40.
