Formula Used

The NBD Auto Loan Calculator uses the following formula to calculate monthly payments:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]
Where:
M = Monthly payment
P = Loan amount
i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the loan balance over the term of the loan, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you want to finance a $25,000 auto loan at an annual interest rate of 5% over a 5-year term.

Enter $25,000 as the loan amount.
Enter 5 as the interest rate.
Select 5 years as the loan term.
Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show:

Monthly payment: $462.66
Total interest: $1,576.19
Total cost: $26,576.19

This example demonstrates how the calculator helps you understand the cost of financing a vehicle and plan your budget accordingly.
