Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard 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 (APR/12/100) n = Number of payments (Term in years × 12)

This formula accounts for the fact that each payment includes both principal and interest, with the interest calculated on the remaining balance.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a Michigan auto loan with these parameters:

Loan amount: $25,000
Term: 5 years
APR: 4.5%

The monthly payment would be calculated as follows:

i = 4.5%/12/100 = 0.00375 n = 5 × 12 = 60 M = 25000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $452.38

Over 5 years, you would pay approximately $2,714.80 in interest, for a total of $27,714.80.
