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 multiplied by 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the loan and provides an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.

Worked Example

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

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

Using the formula:

Monthly interest rate = 5% ÷ 12 = 0.0041667

Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60

Monthly payment = $25,000 × (0.0041667(1 + 0.0041667)^60) / ((1 + 0.0041667)^60 - 1)

Monthly payment ≈ $465.24

Total interest paid over the loan term: $2,724.80
