Car Loan Calculator Ontario Td

This car loan calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments when financing a vehicle in Ontario with TD Bank rates. Simply enter your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term to get an accurate calculation.

How the Car Loan Calculator Works

The car loan calculator uses the standard amortization formula to determine your monthly payments. You provide the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term, and the calculator computes the monthly payment using the formula for a fixed-rate loan.

Formula Used

The monthly payment (PMT) is calculated using the formula:

PMT = 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)

This formula accounts for the interest you'll pay over the life of the loan, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly obligations.

Worked Example

Let's say you're financing a car with a principal amount of $25,000, an annual interest rate of 5%, and a loan term of 5 years.

Example Calculation

Using the formula:

r = 5%/12 = 0.004167

n = 5 × 12 = 60

PMT = $25,000 × (0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60) / ((1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1)

PMT ≈ $465.24 per month

This means you would pay approximately $465.24 each month for 5 years to pay off the $25,000 loan.
