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)
Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × n) - P
Total Cost = Monthly Payment × n
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan at 4.5% annual interest for 5 years:
- Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
- Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
- Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1) ≈ $454.23
- Total Interest = ($454.23 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,725.80
- Total Cost = $454.23 × 60 ≈ $26,725.80
This example shows that with a $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 5 years, you would pay approximately $454.23 per month, with $1,725.80 going toward interest.
