Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate your monthly auto loan payment:

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)

Additional calculations include:

Total interest paid = (Monthly Payment × n) - P
Total cost of loan = Monthly Payment × n

Worked Example

Let's calculate an example auto loan:

Example: You're applying for a $25,000 auto loan at 4.5% APR for 5 years.

Principal (P) = $25,000
Annual interest rate = 4.5% → Monthly rate (r) = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Loan term = 5 years → Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60

Using the formula:

Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)

Monthly Payment ≈ $473.50

Total interest paid = ($473.50 × 60) - $25,000 = $1,122

Total cost of loan = $473.50 × 60 = $26,122

This example shows that for a $25,000 loan at 4.5% APR over 5 years, you would pay approximately $473.50 per month, with $1,122 in total interest and $26,122 in total cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between APR and interest rate?

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the total cost of credit expressed as a yearly rate, while the interest rate is the actual percentage charged on your loan. APR includes additional fees and costs associated with the loan.

How does loan term affect my monthly payment?

A longer loan term means lower monthly payments but more total interest paid. A shorter loan term means higher monthly payments but less total interest. Choose a term that fits your budget and financial goals.

Can I get a lower interest rate with One Nevada Credit Union?

Interest rates can vary based on your credit score, loan amount, and other factors. You may qualify for a lower rate if you have good credit and meet the credit union's requirements. Contact One Nevada Credit Union directly for personalized rate quotes.
