Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Auto Loan Payment Formula
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]
Where:
- M = Monthly payment
- P = Principal loan amount
- i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $25,000 loan at 5% annual interest over 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $25,000
- Annual interest rate = 5% (0.05)
- Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.05/12 ≈ 0.004167
- Loan term in months (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these values into the formula:
Calculation Steps
M = 25000 [ (0.05/12)(1 + 0.05/12)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.05/12)^60 - 1 ]
M ≈ $474.98 per month
Over 5 years, you would pay approximately $28,498.40 in total, with $3,498.40 going to interest.
