Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard 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)
The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate. The calculator also provides the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
Worked Example
Let's calculate an example auto loan:
- Loan Amount: $25,000
- Interest Rate: 4.5% APR
- Loan Term: 5 years
Using the formula:
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)
Monthly Payment ≈ $454.23
Total Interest Paid = ($454.23 × 60) - $25,000 = $1,633.80
This example shows that with a $25,000 loan at 4.5% APR over 5 years, you would pay approximately $454.23 per month with a total interest of $1,633.80.
