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.

Description Amount
Monthly Payment $452.34
Total of Payments $27,140.40
