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 accounts for the interest compounded monthly and provides an accurate monthly payment estimate.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan for a $25,000 vehicle with a 5% annual interest rate over 5 years:

Principal (P) = $25,000
Annual interest rate = 5% (0.05)
Monthly interest rate = 0.05/12 ≈ 0.004167
Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60

Plugging into the formula:

M = 25000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1 ] ≈ $472.89 per month

Total interest paid would be $1,728.80 over the loan term.
