Formula Used
The calculator 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 ÷ 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for an auto loan with a fixed interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a sample auto loan:
Example Calculation

Loan Term: 5 years
Annual Interest Rate: 10%
Monthly Payment: PHP 21,976.50
Total Interest Paid: PHP 359,170.00
Total Amount Paid: PHP 1,359,170.00
