Formula Used
The 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 ÷ 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
Total interest paid is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total loan cost.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan for $25,000 over 5 years at 4.5% annual interest:
- 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) ≈ $470.78
- Total interest paid = ($470.78 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,144.80
- Total loan cost = $25,000 + $1,144.80 = $26,144.80
Note
Actual payments may vary slightly due to rounding and additional fees. Always check with your lender for precise terms.
