How to Use This Calculator
Using the USC auto loan calculator is simple:
- Enter the loan amount you're considering in the "Loan Amount" field.
- Input the annual interest rate offered by the lender.
- Select the loan term in years from the dropdown menu.
- Click "Calculate" to see your monthly payment, total interest, and loan breakdown.

The calculator uses standard auto loan formulas to provide accurate results based on the inputs you provide.
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 divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:
- Loan Amount: $25,000
- Annual Interest Rate: 5%
- Loan Term: 5 years
Monthly Interest Rate = 5% ÷ 12 = 0.4167% or 0.004167
Number of Payments = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60) / ((1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $460.68
Total amount paid over 5 years: $460.68 × 60 = $27,640.80
Total interest paid: $27,640.80 - $25,000 = $2,640.80
