Formula Used

The monthly payment for a DCCU auto loan is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:

M = P [ r(1 + r)^n ] / [ (1 + r)^n - 1 ] Where: M = Monthly payment P = Principal loan amount r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12) n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the loan and ensures that the loan is fully repaid over the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a DCCU auto loan with the following details:

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

Using the formula:

r = 5% / 12 = 0.0041667 n = 5 * 12 = 60 M = 25000 [ 0.0041667(1 + 0.0041667)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.0041667)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $472.87

Your monthly payment would be approximately $472.87, with a total interest of $3,765.20 and a total amount paid of $28,765.20 over 5 years.
