Formula Used

The monthly payment for an auto loan is calculated using the following formula:

This formula accounts for the interest on both the principal and the accumulated interest over the life of the loan.

Worked Example

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

1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
2. Calculate number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 payments
3. Plug values into formula:
   M = 25000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ]
4. Calculate monthly payment: $452.34
5. Total interest paid: $1,730.80

This example shows you would pay $452.34 per month with $1,730.80 in total interest over the life of the loan.
