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 (Purchase Price - Down Payment)
  • i = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate / 12)
  • n = Number of payments (Loan Term in Years × 12)

Total interest is calculated by subtracting the principal from the total of all monthly payments.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan for a $30,000 vehicle with a $3,000 down payment, 4.5% APR, and 5-year term:

  1. Principal = $30,000 - $3,000 = $27,000
  2. Monthly rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
  3. Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
  4. Monthly payment = $27,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ] ≈ $482.50
  5. Total payments = $482.50 × 60 ≈ $28,950
  6. Total interest = $28,950 - $27,000 = $1,950
Loan Payment Breakdown
Payment Number Principal Interest Total Payment Remaining Balance
1 $451.25 $31.25 $482.50 $26,548.75
2 $452.45 $29.05 $482.50 $26,096.30
3 $453.65 $28.85 $482.50 $25,642.65
... ... ... ... ...
60 $482.50 $0.00 $482.50 $0.00

This example shows how your payments would be structured over the life of the loan, with the majority of payments going toward interest in the early years.
