Formula Explained
The State Farm 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 required to pay off the loan over the specified term. The calculator then uses this monthly payment to determine the total interest paid and the total cost of the loan.
Worked Example
Let's say you're applying for a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate for 5 years (60 months). Here's how the calculation works:
- Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375 in decimal form.
- Calculate the monthly payment using the formula:
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60] / [(1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1]
Monthly Payment ≈ $456.24
- Calculate the total amount paid over the loan term: $456.24 × 60 = $27,374.40
- Calculate the total interest paid: $27,374.40 - $25,000 = $2,374.40
Using the calculator with these inputs would give you the same results: a monthly payment of $456.24, total interest of $2,374.40, and total cost of $27,374.40.
