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)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate.

Worked Example

Let's calculate 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 ≈ 0.00379
Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60

Plugging these values into the formula:

Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00379(1 + 0.00379)^60) / ((1 + 0.00379)^60 - 1)

≈ $25,000 × (0.00379 × 1.231) / (1.231 - 1)

≈ $25,000 × (0.00468) / 0.231

≈ $25,000 × 0.02026

≈ $506.50

So, your estimated monthly payment would be $506.50.
