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 (loan amount - down payment)
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 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 an example auto loan:
- Loan Amount: $25,000
- Down Payment: $5,000
- Interest Rate: 4.5% (Credit Union One's current rate)
- Loan Term: 5 years
Principal (P) = $25,000 - $5,000 = $20,000
Monthly Interest Rate (r) = 4.5% / 12 = 0.00375
Number of Payments (n) = 5 * 12 = 60
Monthly Payment = $20,000 * (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1) ≈ $382.50
Total Interest = ($382.50 * 60) - $20,000 ≈ $1,500
Total Cost = $382.50 * 60 ≈ $22,950
