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)
Total interest paid = (Monthly Payment × n) - P
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest for 5 years:
- Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
- Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
- Monthly payment = $25,000 × (0.00375 × (1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1) ≈ $452.38
- Total interest = ($452.38 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,124.80
This example shows you would pay approximately $452.38 per month with $1,124.80 in total interest over 5 years.
