Formula Used
The Nuvision Auto Loan 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 (loan amount - down payment)
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for an auto loan with a constant interest rate. The calculator also computes the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you're considering a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate and a 5-year term.
- Loan Amount: $25,000
- Loan Term: 5 years
- Interest Rate: 4.5%
- Down Payment: $0
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
2. Calculate number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
3. Plug values into formula: $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
4. The result is approximately $477.50 per month
Over the 5-year term, you would pay a total of $13,300 in interest, bringing your total cost to $38,300.
