Formula Used
The Chase Auto 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 × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan in the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 5 years.
- Principal (P) = $25,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5% = 0.045
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 0.045 / 12 ≈ 0.0037917
- Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.0037917(1 + 0.0037917)^60) / ((1 + 0.0037917)^60 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $454.23
Total interest paid over 5 years: $2,230.20
Total amount paid: $27,230.20
