Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment Formula
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]
Where:
- M = Monthly payment
- P = Principal loan amount
- i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a NECU auto loan with these parameters:
- Loan amount: $25,000
- Annual interest rate: 5%
- Loan term: 5 years
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 5% ÷ 12 = 0.4167% or 0.004167
2. Calculate number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 months
3. Plug values into formula:
M = 25000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1 ]
4. Calculate monthly payment: $454.23
5. Total interest paid: $1,623.20
6. Total amount paid: $26,623.20
This example shows that a $25,000 loan at 5% interest over 5 years would result in monthly payments of $454.23.
