Formula Explained

The auto loan payment is calculated using the standard 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 (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 pay off the loan in the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 5 years (60 months).

  1. Convert annual interest rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
  2. Calculate the monthly payment using the formula:
    M = 25000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)60 - 1 ]
  3. The calculation results in a monthly payment of approximately $452.34.

Over the 5-year term, you would pay a total of $27,140.40 in principal and interest, with $2,140.40 going toward interest.
