University Credit Union offers competitive auto loan rates. This calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments, total interest, and loan cost based on University Credit Union's terms and your loan details.
How to Use This Calculator
To get an accurate estimate of your auto loan payments with University Credit Union:
- Enter the loan amount you're requesting
- Select your loan term (in years)
- Enter the interest rate (University Credit Union's current rate)
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated monthly payment, total interest, and total cost of the loan
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula to provide an estimate. Remember that actual payments may vary based on your specific credit union terms and conditions.
Formula Used
The 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 ÷ 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × n) - P
Total Cost = Monthly Payment × n
Worked Example
Let's calculate payments for a $20,000 loan at 4.5% APR for 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $20,000
- Annual Interest Rate = 4.5% (0.045)
- Monthly Interest Rate (r) = 0.045 ÷ 12 = 0.00375
- Number of Payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Using the formula:
Monthly Payment = $20,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60] / [(1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1]
Monthly Payment ≈ $362.45
Total Interest = ($362.45 × 60) - $20,000 = $737.80
Total Cost = $362.45 × 60 = $21,772.80
