Use our PS Bank Auto Loan Calculator to estimate your monthly car loan payments, interest costs, and loan terms. This calculator helps you understand how different loan amounts, interest rates, and terms affect your monthly payments and total interest paid.
How to Use This Calculator
To use the PS Bank Auto Loan Calculator:
- Enter the loan amount you're considering (e.g., $25,000)
- Select the interest rate (e.g., 4.5% for a good credit score)
- Choose the loan term in years (e.g., 5 years)
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated monthly payment
The calculator will display your estimated monthly payment, total interest paid over the loan term, and a breakdown of how your payments are allocated.
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 required to pay off the loan in the specified term, including both principal and interest.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest for 5 years:
- Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
- Calculate number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
- Plug into formula: $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
- This equals approximately $452.38 per month
Over 5 years, you would pay $452.38 × 60 = $27,142.80 in total, with $2,142.80 going to interest.
