Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

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

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate. The calculator also computes the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

Worked Example

Let's calculate an example auto loan with the following details:

Loan Amount: $25,000
Annual Interest Rate: 4.5%
Loan Term: 5 years

Using the formula:

i = 4.5% / 12 = 0.00375 n = 5 × 12 = 60 M = 25000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $452.34

Total interest paid over 5 years: $2,181.40

This example shows that a $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 5 years would have a monthly payment of approximately $452.34, with $2,181.40 paid in interest.
