How to Use This Calculator

Using our car loan calculator is simple:

Enter the loan amount in Philippine pesos (₱) in the "Loan Amount" field.

Formula Used

The car loan calculator uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your monthly payments:

Monthly Payment = P * (r(1+r)^n) / ((1+r)^n - 1) Where: P = Loan amount r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100) n = Number of payments (loan term in years * 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off a loan with a fixed interest rate over a specified period.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a car loan with the following details:

Loan amount: ₱5,000,000
Annual interest rate: 5%
Loan term: 5 years

Using the formula:

Monthly Payment = 5,000,000 * (0.05/12*(1+0.05/12)^60) / ((1+0.05/12)^60 - 1) Monthly Payment ≈ ₱92,580.44

Total interest paid: ₱1,144,904.40

Total repayment amount: ₱6,144,904.40

This example shows that with a ₱5,000,000 loan at 5% interest over 5 years, your monthly payment would be approximately ₱92,580.44.

Assumptions

The car loan calculator makes the following assumptions:

The loan has a fixed interest rate.
Payments are made at the end of each month.
No additional fees or charges are included.
The loan term is in whole years.

These assumptions provide a simplified view of car loan payments. Actual loan terms may vary depending on the lender and specific loan agreement.
