How to Use This Calculator

To use the PSECU Auto Calculator:

  1. Enter the loan amount you're requesting in the "Loan Amount" field.
  2. Input your loan's annual interest rate in the "Interest Rate" field.
  3. Select the loan term in years from the dropdown menu.

The calculator uses standard amortization formulas to provide accurate results based on the inputs you provide.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ] Where: M = Monthly payment P = Loan principal (amount) i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12) n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize a loan over the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $20,000 loan at 4.5% annual interest over 5 years:

  1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
  2. Calculate number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 payments
  3. Plug values into formula: M = $20,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ]
  4. Calculate the result: $352.34 per month

Over 5 years, you would pay $21,140.40 in total, with $1,140.40 going to interest.
