Formula Used
The Ford Auto Loan Calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Auto Loan Payment 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 calculates the fixed monthly payment for an auto loan with a fixed interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a Ford auto loan with these parameters:
- Loan Amount: $25,000
- Interest Rate: 4.5% (0.045)
- Loan Term: 5 years (60 months)
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 0.045 ÷ 12 = 0.00375
2. Calculate the monthly payment:
25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
3. The result is approximately $452.34 per month
Over 5 years, you would pay a total of $27,140.40, with $2,140.40 going to interest.
