Formula Explained

The COK Auto Loan 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 over the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a COK auto loan with these parameters:

  • Loan amount: $25,000
  • Annual interest rate: 5.25%
  • Loan term: 5 years

First, convert the annual rate to a monthly rate:

Monthly rate = 5.25% ÷ 12 = 0.4375% or 0.004375

Then calculate the number of payments:

Number of payments = 5 years × 12 = 60

Now plug these values into the formula:

Monthly Payment = 25000 × (0.004375(1 + 0.004375)^60) / ((1 + 0.004375)^60 - 1)

Monthly Payment ≈ $472.86

Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $2,972.80.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a COK auto loan?

COK stands for "Cash Offer Kiosk," a type of auto loan where the lender provides a cash offer at the time of purchase. These loans often have higher interest rates than traditional bank loans.

How does the interest rate affect my monthly payment?

A higher interest rate will increase your monthly payment and the total amount you pay over the life of the loan. The calculator shows you the exact impact of different interest rates.

Can I pay off my COK auto loan early?

Yes, you can pay off your loan early without penalty, but you'll save more money by paying extra each month rather than making a large lump sum payment.

What happens if I can't make my payments?

If you can't make your payments, contact the lender immediately. They may offer a payment plan or other solutions to help you avoid repossession.
