To use the CUTX Auto Loan Calculator:
- Enter the loan amount you're requesting.

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula to provide accurate estimates. You can adjust the inputs to see how different loan terms affect your payments.
Formula Used
The monthly payment for an auto loan is calculated using the following 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 over the term of the loan. The calculator also calculates the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $25,000 loan at 4.5% annual interest over 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 values 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 $3,258.00.
