How to Use This Calculator

Formula Used
The online auto loan payoff calculator uses the following formula to calculate the total amount you'll pay toward your loan:
Total Amount Paid = Monthly Payment × (Number of Years × 12)
This formula multiplies your monthly payment by the total number of months remaining on your loan to determine the total amount you'll pay.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to see how the online auto loan payoff calculator works. Suppose you have an auto loan with the following details:
- Loan Balance: $20,000
- Monthly Payment: $300
- Years Remaining: 5
Using the formula:
Total Amount Paid = $300 × (5 × 12) = $300 × 60 = $18,000
This means you'll pay a total of $18,000 toward your loan, and you'll be debt-free in 5 years.
