The calculator will display your estimated monthly payment, total interest paid over the life of the loan, and the total cost of the loan including principal and interest.
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
