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 divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
Total interest paid is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total amount paid over the life of the loan.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate and a 5-year term:
- Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
- Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
- Monthly payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1) ≈ $454.23
- Total amount paid = $454.23 × 60 ≈ $27,253.80
- Total interest paid = $27,253.80 - $25,000 = $2,253.80
Using the calculator with these values will give you these results.
