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 × 12)
This formula accounts for the interest on the loan balance each month, resulting in a fixed monthly payment.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $25,000 loan at 4.5% APR for 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $25,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5% or 0.045
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 0.045 / 12 = 0.00375
- Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these into the formula:
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60] / [(1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1]
Monthly Payment ≈ $474.32
Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $1,878.60, and the total amount repaid would be $26,878.60.
