Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

Monthly 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)

Total interest is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total of all monthly payments. The total cost of the loan includes both the principal and the interest.

Worked Example

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

Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375 in decimal
Plug values into the formula:

M = $25,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)⁶⁰ ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)⁶⁰ - 1 ]
Calculate the monthly payment: $25,000 × 0.00596 ≈ $446.50
Total interest: ($446.50 × 60) - $25,000 = $1,119
Total cost: $25,000 + $1,119 = $26,119

This example shows that a $25,000 loan at 4.5% over 5 years would have monthly payments of approximately $446.50, total interest of $1,119, and a total cost of $26,119.
