Formula Used

This 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 a loan with a fixed interest rate.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:

Loan amount: $25,000
Annual interest rate: 4.5%
Loan term: 5 years

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375

Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60

Monthly payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)

Monthly payment ≈ $452.38

For this example, your estimated monthly payment would be $452.38, with a total interest of $2,746.80 and a total repayment of $27,746.80 over 5 years.
