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 = Principal loan amount i = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100) n = Number of payments (Term in years × 12)

Total interest paid = (Number of payments × Monthly payment) - Principal loan amount

Total amount paid = Principal loan amount + Total interest paid

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% APR over 5 years:

Input Value
Loan Amount $25,000
Loan Term 5 years
Interest Rate 4.5%

Using the formula:

i = 4.5%/12/100 = 0.00375 n = 5 × 12 = 60 M = 25000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $464.42

Results:

  • Monthly payment: $464.42
  • Total interest paid: $1,942.20
  • Total amount paid: $26,942.20

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between APR and APY?

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple annual interest rate, while APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes compounding interest and fees. APY is generally higher than APR because it accounts for interest earned on interest.

How does a down payment affect my loan?

A larger down payment reduces your loan amount, which typically lowers your monthly payments and total interest paid. It also may qualify you for better loan terms and lower insurance rates.

What factors can affect my auto loan approval?

Lenders consider your credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, employment history, and the vehicle's value. A higher credit score and stable income increase your chances of approval.
