Formula Used
The Sagicor Auto Loan 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)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for an auto loan with a fixed interest rate. The calculator also computes the total interest paid over the loan term by subtracting the principal from the total of all monthly payments.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a Sagicor auto loan with the following details:
- Loan amount: $25,000
- Loan term: 5 years
- Annual interest rate: 5.5%
Using the formula:
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00457(1 + 0.00457)^60) / ((1 + 0.00457)^60 - 1)
Calculating this gives a monthly payment of approximately $478.50.
Over 5 years, you would pay a total of $28,699.90, with $3,699.90 in total interest.
