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 (annual rate divided by 12) n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize the loan over the specified term.

Worked Example

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

Principal (P) = $25,000
Annual interest rate = 4.5% = 0.045
Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.045 / 12 ≈ 0.00375
Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60

Plugging these values into the formula:

M = 25000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $472.34

Your estimated monthly payment would be $472.34, with a total interest of $2,902.40 and a total amount paid of $27,902.40.
