Formula Explained

The calculator uses the standard car loan payment formula:

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)

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: $25,000
  • Loan term: 5 years
  • Annual interest rate: 4.5%

Using the formula:

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.00375

Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60

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

Monthly payment ≈ $452.34

Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $3,641.20.

Interpreting Results

When you get your loan estimate, consider these factors:

  1. Monthly payment: This is what you'll pay each month. Compare this with your budget.
  2. Total interest: This shows how much extra you'll pay beyond the loan amount.
  3. Total amount paid: This is the sum of your principal and interest payments.
  4. Amortization schedule: This shows how your payments break down over time.

Remember that these are estimates. Actual payments may vary based on your specific loan terms and conditions.
