Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan 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 / 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 loan with these parameters:

Loan amount: $20,000
Annual interest rate: 5%
Loan term: 4 years

Monthly interest rate = 5% ÷ 12 = 0.4167% (0.004167 in decimal)

Number of payments = 4 × 12 = 60 months

Using the formula:

M = 20000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $426.23

Total interest paid = (Monthly payment × Number of payments) - Principal = ($426.23 × 60) - $20,000 = $2,373.80

Total amount paid = $20,000 + $2,373.80 = $22,373.80

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between APR and interest rate?: APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the total cost of credit including fees and other charges, while the interest rate is the cost of borrowing without additional fees.
How does loan term affect my monthly payment?: A longer loan term means lower monthly payments but more total interest paid, while a shorter term means higher monthly payments but less total interest.
Can I pay extra toward my loan?: Yes, paying extra principal reduces your loan balance faster and saves on interest. The calculator can show you how extra payments affect your loan.
What happens if I miss a payment?: Missing payments can result in late fees, higher interest charges, and potential damage to your credit score. It's important to make payments on time.
How do I refinance my auto loan?: Refinancing involves replacing your current loan with a new one, typically with better terms. You can use this calculator to compare your current loan with potential refinanced terms.
