Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you're considering a $25,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate for 5 years (60 months).

Using the formula:

Calculating this gives us a monthly payment of approximately $456.28. Over the 5-year term, you would pay a total of $27,376.80 in principal and interest, with $2,376.80 going to interest.
