Formula Used

The payment calculator auto uses the standard auto 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 required to pay off the loan over the specified term.

Example Calculation

Let's say you're considering a $20,000 auto loan with a 5% annual interest rate for 4 years (48 months).

Using the formula:

Monthly Payment = $20,000 × (0.05/12 × (1 + 0.05/12)^48) / ((1 + 0.05/12)^48 - 1)

Monthly Payment ≈ $432.87

Your total interest paid over 4 years would be approximately $3,175.68.
