Formula Used

The monthly payment for an auto loan is calculated using the standard 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 accounts for the interest on the unpaid balance each month, resulting in a fixed monthly payment.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $25,000 loan at 4.5% annual interest for 5 years:

Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Calculate number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 payments
Plug values into formula:

Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1)
The calculation yields approximately $472.88 per month

This example shows the monthly payment for a $25,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 5 years.
