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 divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 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 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 5 years (60 months).
- Principal (P) = $25,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5% or 0.045
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 0.045 / 12 ≈ 0.00375
- Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these values into the formula:
Calculation Steps
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
First calculate (1 + r)^n:
(1.00375)^60 ≈ 1.277
Now calculate the numerator and denominator:
Numerator = 0.00375 × 1.277 ≈ 0.00478
Denominator = 1.277 - 1 = 0.277
Now divide numerator by denominator:
0.00478 / 0.277 ≈ 0.01729
Finally multiply by principal:
$25,000 × 0.01729 ≈ $432.25
The calculated monthly payment for this example is $432.25.
