Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off a loan with a fixed interest rate over a specified period.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $25,000 loan at 4.5% annual interest for 5 years (60 months):
- Convert annual interest rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375 in decimal
- Plug values into the formula:
M = 25000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ]
- Calculate the numerator: 0.00375 × (1.00375)^60 ≈ 0.2626
- Calculate the denominator: (1.00375)^60 - 1 ≈ 0.2626
- Final calculation: 25000 × (0.2626 / 0.2626) ≈ $452.07 per month
Your estimated monthly payment would be $452.07, with a total interest of $1,727.20 over the life of the loan.
